Hi Scott as Alex never confirmed whether it was the correct version or not I didnt try..will give that a go if he has updated the installer
agriffin wrote:I'm not sure either, so I just removed the -n option. I also fixed the iptables code that another customer was having trouble with. The new version should finish uploading soon.

Thanks
Arnab

I just finished creating an RPM package for this to replace the install script, which should be more predictable and reliable. You can find it here. If you're upgrading from a previous version, you'll need to force rpm to overwrite the pre-existing files:

Code: Select all

# rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps snmptt-1.3-3.nagios.noarch.rpm
Otherwise, use this command on new installations:

Code: Select all

# yum --nogpgcheck localinstall snmptt-1.3-3.nagios.noarch.rpm
I'm more confident in this version than the last few (it will at least finish installing), but let me know if you encounter any issues. If everything seems to work fine, I'll update the documentation to use this instead. Thanks!

EDIT: updated URL and commands with fixed version

That works! ...A small warning backup your snmptt.conf or trap def files before installing this... :)

Thanks for the feedback. I just pushed a small update that doesn't overwrite your existing configs. I also updated our documentation to make this the official procedure.

Hi Alex,

Just a quick update on this I found that snmptt.ini is still telling it to run as standalone mode / changed that to daemon. Traps doesnt get translated from oid to text strings

to fix that edit /etc/init.d/snmptrapd and replace

#OPTIONS="-Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid -m all" -----this with
OPTIONS="-a -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid -Ls 2 -Lf /var/log/snmptrapd-direct.log -m ALL" --also enables additional logging

in snmptt.ini have the following options set as

translate_value_oids = 1
translate_trap_oid_format = 1
translate_varname_oid_format = 1
translate_integers = 1
mibs_environment = ALL

This has got me what i wanted proper snmp trap translation. Might be worth changing your package to have these options enabled.

Many Thanks
Arnab

Hi Guys,

Please withdraw this patch if you released it completely breaks snmptrap handling. As snmptraphandling.py is never called so nagios never receives the processed traps !!!!!


Many Thanks
Arnab
