SNMP traps going to /var/log/messages file?

[Bitflogger]

Hello,
I'm running v5.5.10, 64-bit, VM, CentOS 7.

I set up a server to send SNMP alerts, and it all seemed to work. Recently, I have seen SNMP alerts, from the same server, that end up in the /var/log/messages file.

I think thats because I have not configured those alerts to be caught by SNMPTT.

Is there a way to suppress SNMP alerts from getting into the messages file?

There are a couple of places to look.
In the /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf file, if there is a log entry, change that.

Or another option is to edit the following file

Code: Select all

/etc/sysconfig/snmptrapd

And change the -LF option to forward logs to /dev/null

Code: Select all

OPTIONS="-Lf /dev/null"

Save the change the restart snmptrapd to load the change.

Code: Select all

systemctl restart snmptrapd
