SNMP usability

[fpernet]

Hi all,
This post is lied to my previous one, but the subject is more general.
When we are using the SNMP Trap Wizard, Nagios XI makes a link between the relevant host to the host discovered in the traps. Fine !
It creates then a passive check for this flow of traps inside the host.

The problem is that all traps cannot be monitored using this mechanism (the last trap appears but all the traps received before are gone). I remember that in the core version, the good trick was to store the traps in a database (or something else) and then use a plugin in order to raise an alarm since any CRITICAL trap resides int he database and has not be acknowledged (Active check). The plugins was called NagTrap + check_snmptraps.pl. Also it was possible to switch to a screen with a list of all traps received for this host.
SNMP (passive checks) is quiet unusable without this trick.

I thougt that this was present in some sort in the Nagios XI version ?
Is there anything more i would need to have a better SNMP managment ?

Many thanks in advance

Francois

Just so you are aware, NSTI is not a module for XI or core, but a separate product entirely on its own. They definitely can integrate with each other and XI can check NSTI to create alerts and NSTI can send alerts to XI. Otherwise, no worries on posting here, just glad you found what you were looking for!
