Nagios Support Forum

I follow software support (remote server) and install the following:
rpm -Uvh net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-20.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh lm_sensors-2.10.7-9.el5.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh net-snmp-5.3.2.2-20.el5.i386.rpm

then I I add nagios IP to snmp.cfg which related to the software and restart snmpd service, I added it to attached.
but there is important note, the snmptrapd.conf not exits in /etc/snmp/

Just to confirm, you are checking for these files on the Nagios server, correct?

This command will try to find the snmptrapd.conf file - please run it on your Nagios server:
Can you also run that grep command I posted?

hi,

snmp.cfg this file related to the remote server
snmptt.conf this file for nagios (10.102.4.10)

on Nagios server:-

[root@nms ~]# find / -name snmptrapd.conf
/var/lib/net-snmp/snmptrapd.conf
/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf
[root@nms ~]#

on remote server:- nothing

[root@mcb1 ~]# find / -name snmptrapd.conf
[root@mcb1 ~]#
----------------------------------------------------------------
on nagios server:-
[root@nms ~]# grep "mode =" /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini
mode = daemon
description_mode = 1
[root@nms ~]#

on remote server:- nothing
[root@mcb1 ~]# grep "mode =" /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini
grep: /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini: No such file or directory

Let's real quick, go ahead and collect all the base information for snmptt and snmptrapd on your nagios system, to see if it doesn't give us some more information as to why you are not seeing them come in.

Most of that looks pretty good, but you seem to be missing some directories listed there. Try these again:

Well I can see that your traps are coming in and going to both known and unknown logs, the spool directory appears to be getting cleaned out since they are very recent and small numbers. Are you not seeing these results in nagios XI? Have you checked the unconfigured objects Admin page for these entries? If they are not showing in XI, could you also share a few a trap oids that you expect to be seeing?

no I'm show them in logs and nagios Xi, it seems the remote server not send traps. as I told you that I install net-snmp agent net-snmp-libs,net-snmp-5.3.2.2 but there is folder for snmptrap on the remote server

There should not be a snmptraps folder on the remote system, you need to configure your applications or OS to handle this. Unfortunately snmpd does not send many if any traps automatically, and snmptt and snmptrapd are intended only for receiving. So either you need another daemon to send traps, or your applications need to be configured to have that as an option, such as calling snmptrap(which is part of net-snmp). Otherwise a base linux system, doesn't really have a way to send traps unless specific applications are handling it themselves.
