How to monitor snmptt.log

[mdsupersonic]

Hi Support team,
Recently we have faced a new issue in NagiosXI which is related to snmptt.conf file.
Snmp traps are not working and showing nothing,but when we restart snmpttd service it will going beck to normal behavior.
My question is that is the any way to monitor that snmpttd is working and snmptt.log file updating itself in NagiosXI?
Can I add a service to my Nagios XI server and check snmptt.log file?

Thanks in advance

Was snmptt service running at all? Is it set up to start on system restart? What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

chkconfig --list snmptt

You could set up a service on localhost to monitor if snmptt is running, i.e.

Code: Select all

define service {
	host_name			localhost
	service_description		Service Status - snmptt
	use				local-service
	check_command			check_xi_service_status!snmptt!!!!!!!
	register			1
	}

Code: Select all

[nagios@192 ~]$ sudo /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/manage_services.sh status snmptt
snmptt (pid  1255) is running...

You might want to monitor the number of files in /var/spool/snmptt since this is where they wait for snmptt to read and process them.
Also look into adding service restart snmptt to the nagios init script. That will resolve the issue.

Thanks for your reply.I think if I add snmptt restart service in nagios init script would be helpful.
could you tell me where to find init file and what to add in it ?

Thank you in advance

On my system I added it to /etc/init.d/nagios at the end of the start section. You can see the command below.

start)
...
/etc/init.d/snmptt restart
;;

Is it alright if we lock this thread and mark the issue as resolved?
