Nagios Support Forum

Hi Support

This is a continuation from the old thread. https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 16&t=47454

I am going crazy trying to figure out what is the problem with Nagios.....i have checked everything...
1) Configuations are correct because i am able to recieve traps from other systems.
2) iptable is disabled.
3) the mib file is loaded in the right place and having the correct permission.
4) tcpdump is capturing the incoming trap.
5) I even tried to add a specific catchall Event.

#
EVENT CatchAll .1.3.6.1.4.1.393.200.* "Status Events" Critical
FORMAT $*
EXEC /usr/local/bin/snmptraphandling.py "$r" "SNMP Traps" "$s" "$@" "" "Host: $r; SvcDesc: $*"
#

But NOTHING is captured in snmptt.log, snmptt.debug, snmpttunknown.log and snmptthandler.debug.

I don't know what else is wrong, Nagios is just not accepting the traps from this particular system.

I have attached the snmptt.conf and tcpdump file for your reference.

Please help.

I'm not able to reproduce this but the error in the packet trace would suggest the agent(source) address in the snmptrap message is too large. Try running the following on XI and check to see if it causes anything to be logged in the logs you mentioned as well as /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log:

snmptrap -v 1 -c public 10.254.98.200 1.3.6.1.4.1.393.200.50.66 10.252.40.243 6 2 '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.393.200.50.66.1.1 s 5468652053796d616e7465632050726f74656374696f6e20456e67696e6520686173206a7573742073746172746564207570 1.3.6.1.4.1.393.200.50.66.1.2 s 31302e3235322e34302e323433 1.3.6.1.4.1.393.200.50.66.1.3 i 1344 1.3.6.1.4.1.393.200.50.66.1.44 s 313130 1.3.6.1.4.1.393.200.50.66.1.51 s 496e666f726d6174696f6e

Hi Support

After executing the suggested command line, i received the following messages in various logs.

You need to run the SNMP Trap wizard and add the host 10.254.98.200

Then they will show up in the interface

As per advise, i have added the host 10.254.98.200 and now i am able to see trap on Nagios.

With this test, does it mean that there was some issue with the agent(source) address as shown in the trace?

No. You still need to add all the hosts you are going to receive traps from with the SNMP Trap wizard

Oh, sorry, maybe i didn't comm clearly in the beginning of the thread.

I have already added host (10.252.40.243) to receive traps.
The problem is nothing get log in Nagios when this particular host send SNMP traps.

Then cdienger mentioned that the packet trace suggest the agent(source) address in the snmptrap message is too large.

So i thought by performing the test is to confirm if the agent(source) address had anything to do with Nagios not having anything records.

you would want to check /var/log/snmptt/snmpttunknown.log to see if 10.252.40.243 is sending traps that are not matching any of the configuration in the snmptt.ini

If it is logging in /var/log/messages it is being received and should be in one of the snmptt logs
