Nagios Support Forum

I am having a issue with verifying that SNMP traps are working correctly. I have add SNMP Trap via the Monitoring Wizard for several devices however never receive an alert. For example, I have added our environmental monitor and can correctly display the temperature within Nagios XI. If the temperature goes above the threshold, I do not receive an alert but do see it within the snmptt.log file. I also get an alert from Kiwi. I also have the same type of issue if I restart a Windows server. The SNMP trap never changes and I receive no alerts. The only alert I receive is the ping status fails which is not reliable if set to a 5 minute interval. I have added udp port 162 via the system-config-firewall-tui. Am I missing something? Is there a limitation to the SNMP Trap implimentation within Nagios XI?

Background: we are using a prebuilt VM of Nagios XI version 2012R1.4.

Any help is appreciated!

Receiving SNMP Traps in XI does require additional setup. Did you go through this document to setup traps?

I know its been a few days but I just wanted follow up regarding this as I hate post that don't give resolutions. I had read that PDF document that you listed several times but found my issue was that when I imported the MIB through Nagios XI, I assumed that it would make the MIB available to the system. I found that I still needed to login to the Nagios XI host and run the addmib <MIB_FILE_NAME> command as stated in the document. (It helps to read!) This resolved the issue and I'm now receiving traps. Thanks again

Glad to hear its working and thanks for letting us know!
