Hi.
I would like to know if there is any measure of the time it takes nagios xi to forward a traps.
I have configured nagios xi to receive SNMP traps from 300 host and Nagios XI is configured to forward traps to another platform, is it possible to know how long Nagios is receiving a traps and forward it to the platform?
Trap forward time
Re: Trap forward time
You can check using tcpdump/wireshark:
yum -y install tcpdump
tcpdump -s 0 -i any host IPSENDINGTRAPS or host FORWARDINGIP -w snmp.pcap
This will create a file called snmp.pcap that you can open and examine with wireshark and should show you the time packets come into the Nagios server and when they get forwarded.
yum -y install tcpdump
tcpdump -s 0 -i any host IPSENDINGTRAPS or host FORWARDINGIP -w snmp.pcap
This will create a file called snmp.pcap that you can open and examine with wireshark and should show you the time packets come into the Nagios server and when they get forwarded.
