Can't send host alerts via snmp

[andrewatmacys]

I am having a problem with sending host alerts via snmp traps, but it's sending service alerts just fine. Host alerts are enabled, but aren't showing up at all. Any help is welcome, and thank you in advance! I can PM cfg files if needed!

Did you configure,
Admin -> Manage Components -> SNMP Trap Sender ?

Could you send a screenshot of that page.

Also, you should be able to run the following after forcing a host to go down and see the trap being sent to your configured trap host

Code: Select all

tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log

Responded, SNMP Trap Sender setup was missing port. By default that should be 162

This turned into a ticket and wanted to report the cause. Hosts were not sending traps but services were.

Upon further investigation the hosts on the server had the following set in their configurations

Code: Select all

event_handler_enabled     0

Once enabled user reported they were working correctly.
