Trap Not Creating Event

Post by kcarlson »

Hello, I'm having issues getting a trap to notify for a particular host. So far I have checked the snmpttunknown.log which my trap appeared in. I then loaded the correct MIB. After that I am now getting the event to show up in snmptt.log. When I tail that log I do show the event after a trap is sent from the host.

One thing I did notice is that the MIB shows "Normal" in the log. I would still expect to see it in the SNMP Trap service for the host but maybe not alarm or send a notification, is that correct? I have rebuilt the SNMP Trap service and made sure the snmptt service was running and restarted after changes.

I am not seeing the host in the "Unconfigured Objects" menu in the web interface. One thing I did notice in /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf was that my OID or the text associated with it was not found. This seems like the issue to me but I was questioning why it would not still be showing up in the unknown log.

Any help to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Did you run the addmib command after adding your MIBS?

This is what will put them in the /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf
