Nagios core SNMP issue

Post by janaka_00930 »

Hi all,

I configured new Nagios core system with version 4.4.6 & SNMP alarms is not pop up. This is a RHEL 8 server & following service are correctly running.
nagios.service
snmptt.service
snmptrapd.service

As per trace, SNMP trap received to Nagios system & not captured any logs.
Please assist to clear this issue.

Thank you,
Mahesh

Assuming trap processing in core is the same as in NXI, snmptrapd listens for and receives traps, then hands them off to snmptt, which then gives them to Nagios. If Nagios doesn't find the host the trap should go to it puts it in the unconfigured objects.
I'd have a look at how snmptrapd is set up and it's logging config.

I'm on RHEL 7 and using Nagios XI, so your config might be different...

I'd start with checking /var/log/snmptrapd.log.
Next look at /etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd
Here's one of mine:
# cat /etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd
# snmptrapd command line options
# '-f' is implicitly added by snmptrapd systemd unit file
# OPTIONS="-Lsd"
OPTIONS="-a -A -Lf /var/log/snmptrapd.log -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid udp:162 udp6:162"

Once snmptrapd and snmptt are set up and running by default, you need to add MIBs, probably in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ and add the MIB info to snmptt.conf. This can be done with addmib.

Have a look at /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini and /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf

Here are some KB articles for checking the SNMP setup

I checked the configurations with your guidance & but issue is still their.
I need to know one more thing. I installed the MIB files in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ after compiling original MIB file. Is it correct?
Also i didn't keep original MIB file in the server. Is it correct?
Also I run internally snmptraphandeling.py script from Nagios server, alarm is correctly generated in Nagios GUI.
