Re: IPv6 and SNMP: Traps arrive, but not processed by snmptr

Interesting. None of the IPv6 hostnames are resolvable, yet traps still arrive and become alerts in Nagios.
Yes you are correct, the changes to the script will still submit an IPv6 address if it could not resolve it to a DNS record.
I did look into options in the python script to expand the IPv6 address, or collapse it, but the modules required for that are in Python 3.x so it's not easy to incorporate in the XI standard package (XI comes with Python 2.x).
