Thanks, so the last part, "a host object for every IP that sends traps", assuming this is the hosts.cfg file, what entry would you place there?

It takes the trap OIDs and translates them (via MIBs) to human readable labels. snmptt has a mapping file which I have configured like this: # CatchAll EVENT CatchAll .1.* "SNMP-TRAP" Critical FORMAT $A - $D EXEC /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/submit_check_result \ "$A" "SNMP Trap" 2 "$O: $1 $2 $3 $4 $5" Then I have a host object for every IP that sends traps. -- And, did Guloka think the Ulus were too ugly to save? -Centauri ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
