Easiest way might be just a simple cron running the snmptrap command:

You could create a cron job that does it:

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * * root /path/to/your/script.sh

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# script.sh

/usr/bin/snmptrap -v2c -cpublic 127.0.0.1 $(date +'%s') .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1

Its pretty simple to create a command in Nagios and then a service running every 5 minutes if you really want to run it from Nagios. There's no external script--its all in Nagios. I did create a symlink to snmptrap in libexec though. The only real difference is in Nagios, the schedule is flexible and execution time will drift, while cron will run it when scheduled.

The command: $USER1$/snmptrap $ARG1$
