SNMP trap not coming for new device in nagios

Hi Team,

Need you help on below issue.

We are not getting snmp trap for newly added devices in nagios xi.

We are seeing many traps coming in device, but not showing in nagios xi. Checked under /var/log/snmptt/snmptt.log and see very few message traps, but that alos not reflecting in nagios. Also could not see anything under /var/log/snmptt/snmpttunknown.log. Verified the reconfigured object but no luck.

Attached the screenshot of snmp trap page.

Thanks,
Sanoj

Let's get a tcpdump and see if we can verify whether or not the SNMP traps are actually getting to the Nagios server.

Code: Select all

tcpdump -w /tmp/output.pcap host <IPofNewDevice>
Start that command, then send a trap from the new device, and PM output.pcap to me.

Is there no way to send a trap from the device? What kind of device is it?

You mentioned that you see some entries in /var/log/snmptt.log. Are any of those entries from the Windows machine? Can you post some of them here?
