How can I validate that traps are being sent?

Watch the outbound UDP traffic on the XI server sending the traps:

tcpdump udp dst port 162

You may need to install tcpdump:

Code: Select all

yum -y install tcpdump

I am not seeing any snmpt traps being sent. I am also using a non standard port of 1162. How can I troubleshoot this? See attached config image.

Can you send us the output of this:

Code: Select all

yum list installed | grep net-snmp

Can you try:
Un-check the Enable Integration checkbox
Click Apply Settings
Check the Enable Integration checkbox
Click Apply Settings

Go and start the tcpdump

Submit a passive check for a host or service with a critical status, this should send a trap. Does that appear in the tcpdump?

I tryed toggling and applied settings and toggled again to turn back on. Still dont see anything shown in tcpdump

[root@az84mon11v ~]# tcpdump udp dst port 1162

What version of the component do you have?:

Click the Admin menu
System Extensions > Manage Components
Find the SNMP Trap Sender component
What version is this component?

If there is a newer one available, please download and upload it at the top of this page.

The only other suggestion I have right now is to try putting it on the default port of 162 and then watching that traffic with tcpdump, just to see if it works at all.

I'm all out of troubleshooting ideas, we may need to wait until tomorrow for the USA techs to get back to us with some more troubleshooting steps.

Looks like its up to date: Version: 1.5

Tryed the standard port 126 but still dont see anything in tcpdump.

Any other ideas?

I just installed it and set it up like your with 1162 and generated a service failure so that it would send the trap and it worked just fine:

Code: Select all

[root@ssc66xi scripts]# tcpdump udp dst port 1162
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes
10:27:28.700024 IP 192.168.4.126.59021 > 192.168.4.124.health-trap: UDP, length 221
10:28:28.818998 IP 192.168.4.126.48031 > 192.168.4.124.health-trap: UDP, length 221

Do you see anything in your /var/log/httpd/error_log or /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log (if using HTTPS) that may give any indication?

Also, let's take a look at the permissions:

Code: Select all

ls -ld /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/snmptrapsender
ls -l /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/snmptrapsender
