Not able to see all clear alarm from the SNMP traps history

[iptribe]

Hi Support,

I noticed on my NagiosXI is not able to view all the clear alarm from the state history, please refer the attachment. The state history only show the clear alarm if the previous state is critical/major/minor. If the previous alarm is a clear alarm, then the next clear alarm will not be shown until it receive another state(critical/major/minor) of alarm. Can I know how to make my Nagios XI show all the SNMP alarms that it has received?

In order to see the historical trap information you would need to setup an NSTI server (don't install it on the XI server, it can cause issues):

https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... I)/details

My recommendation would be to spin up a new server, install NSTI on it, then edit /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf on your XI server and add this to the bottom:
- Change X.X.X.X to your NSTI server IP.

Code: Select all

forward default X.X.X.X:162

Then restart the snmptrapd service:

Code: Select all

service snmptrad restart

This will forward all your traps that come into the XI server to your NSTI server as well.


Let us know if you have any questions.


Thank you
