Hi all,

I've been trying to setup a distributed mon system. I have mon running on two hosts. One uses remote.alert to send TRAP to target host. I've modified the remote.alert scipt to use target hostname rather than use localhost. On target host I added a watch using following:

watch trap-service
       service testhost_fping
               description TRAP: trap fping from testhost
               period wd {Sun-Sat}
alert mailme.alert operator #I'm using a modified version of mail.alert since I don['t have sendmail running

Also I'm using following in "trap section" of auth file

trap section
test_host1    *    *
test_host1 aspgtkp *

For some reason above method of adding hosts in trap section is not working well since i get "mon[27037]: invalid host in /opt/mon-1.1.6/mon-1.0.0pre5/etc/auth.cf, line 44" error logged in syslog. Also traps seem to be working since I get "mon[27037]: trap received for undefined group mainservers" messages in syslog. However each time a trap is detected it should send an email. At this point I'm out of ideas. I wonder what information is suppose to be passed via the trap.

BTW I'm using mon-1.0.0pre5 and mon-client-1.0.0pre2.

Any help is greatly appriciated.

TP
