Re: Nagios XI trial version not receiving traps
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2016 1:11 pm
The way Traps work is that the snmptrapd daemon receives a trap and sends it on to the snmptt daemon (SNMP Trap Translator).
In the /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf file, are all of the OIDs that it should process and if there is a match, it will send it to the XI process.
If it doesn't match, it goes in to the unknown log.
The snmptt.conf file is populated by the XI GUI if the Process Traps button is selected and that the MIB file has TRAP OID's in them.
You can try and add the MIB's again from the command line by running the following.
Every time you run this or edit the snmptt.conf file, you will have to restart the Trap Translater by running
Try that and see if it works, if not, can you post this file?
Here is a link to a SNMP Trap tutorial that describes the process, read through it and let us know if you have any questions.
