We're currently having great difficulty adding an SNMP trap. We're able to go thru the motions and NagiosXI reports that the SNMP trap is added, but nothing shows up in the /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf.nxti file
All real and test SNMP traps with the OID fail to get picked up and always end up in the /var/log/snmptt/snmpttunknown.log file
We've tried the one-click check and it fails at step 4.
We're on NagiosXI 5.5.7
Looking for advice on what to try next in resolving this issue.

Re: Difficulty adding an SNMP Trap
Figured it out.
Misconfigured filesystem permissions in /etc/snmp -- "nagios" group needs to be able to write to those files and directory.
Strangely, NagiosXI gui never notes this. It seems to think that the action of creating a trap receiver was successful even though it was not. I'd definitely file this as a bug.
