Have you tried sending a test trap from the troubleshooting section of the documentation you linked? Also, do you have anything in your:

Code: Select all

/var/log/snmptt/snmpttunknown.log

They would be logged in either the /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log or /var/log/messages, and possibly both. I am confused on the second question, traps being sent to nagios services, are never read from a log file and processed, they are sent directly to the nagios command pipe. The service will work, as it is a passive check, it does not actively check or connect to anything. Snmptt and snmptraphandler.py forward correctly formatted events to nagios directly.

Edit: Also please do not double post, but instead edit your previous post. Our office hours are 9am-5pm CDT, and we are only available on the forums through those hours.

Hi,

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... on-Wizards

From the above link i have downloaded the SNMP-TRAP plug-in and Nagios XI by using the Upload option on the monitoring wizard administration screen successfully installed.

After that Configure->Core Config Manager->Configuration Wizards->Run the Monitoring Wizard->SNMP Trap
Click the traps option -> Select the hosts you would like to enable SNMP Traps for

I have added on host for monitoring the traps.

Note:Also also through the XI interface AdminAdmin -> Manage MIBs uploaded the respective MIBS.

In The web page it is showing STATUS-INFORMATION: OK: TRAP RESET

one more thing i have not found any script name snmptraphandler.py in NagioXI server.

even i extracted snmp-trap Plugin folder \snmp-trap\snmp-trap\plugins plugin are empty showing.

I'm sorry, what is this in reference to?

As for the snmptraphandler.py, it would seem that you have it, as your traps are being forwarded if they are not in a pending state. Let's just 100% verify with the following command:

Code: Select all

rpm -qa | grep snmp

You need to make trap services for each host that is sending traps in. From there, nagios will use the host address field to differentiate which trap should go to what service. You should not need to alter anything from snmptt and the like, unless additional mibs need to be added. If you do not add additional trap services within XI, you will see these other hosts go to the unknown alerts page in Admin.
