what gives?

[abrist]

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but those are cached events getting handled. . . .

[benhank]

so vas ist dast meen?
whatcho talkin bout willis?

is ther a way tah clear the cache?

[abrist]

I am talkin' bout the traps Gary.
Does it happen every time you restart the service?

[benhank]

yeah, but i think this is from a a bad conversion of my mibs
the devices it's showing have never been monitored or cfg'd to send traps to this system.

[abrist]

Ahhh. Are you using any of these mibs currently? If not, we could remove the mibs to silence the spam on process restart.

Now in case all you fellow nagiosians, who may or may not be crackin up laughing at my terrible imitation of being a real IT guy, are wonderin "how does this guy keep his job?" All I can say is " cameras + tape recorders + upper management offices = "If I go down, we ALL goin' down"

But, aB did you know that in the snmptt.ini file if you change
DEBUGGING_FILE_HANDLER = /var/log/snmptt/snmptthandler.debug
to
DEBUGGING_FILE_HANDLER = /var/log/snmptt/snmptthandler.debug # enabled by BH 12/09/13,
you end up on the forums getting laffed at?
you can lock it up man

[sreinhardt]

you might want to change that to:

# DEBUGGING_FILE_HANDLER = /var/log/snmptt/snmptthandler.debug # disabled by BH 12/09/13

this really isnt needed and is going to take a ton of space as you do more and more with traps.

[abrist]

Lock, stock, and two smoking IT guys.
