I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm fairly new to Linux,
Nagios, and net-snmp. I am looking for something that I can send SNMP
traps to and it will e-mail me when it gets the trap. I have net-snmp installed on my Fedora 9 box. I understand that I need snmptrapd for what I'm looking to do. I found the "traptoemail" script and put this line in my snmptrapd.conf file: traphandle TRAPOID|default /usr/local/bin/traptoemail [-f FROM] [-s SMTPSERVER]b ADDRESSES I'm just really confused on how to put it all together and make it actually work. I have read a lot of the documentation and the wiki tutorials for snmptrapd, but I'm royally confused. Does anyone have a guide for dummies or a step-by-step guide that I can follow? Here is my snmptrapd.conf file: ########################################################################### # # Stuff I added # ########################################################################### authCommunity log,execute,net public traphandle TRAPOID|default /usr/local/bin/traptoemail [-f FROM] [-s SMTPSERVER]b ADDRESSES # FROM defaults to "root" # SMTPSERVER defaults to "localhost" ########################################################################### # snmptrapd.conf # # - created by the snmpconf configuration program # ########################################################################### # SECTION: Trap Handlers # # Here we define what programs are run when a trap is # received by the trap receiver. # traphandle: When traps are received, a program can be run. # When traps are received, the list of configured trap # handles is consulted and any configured program is run. # If no handler is found, any handler with "default" as the # traphandle type is run instead. The information contained # in trap is passed to the program via standard input (see # the snmptrapd.conf manual page for details). # # arguments: oid|"default" program args traphandle ########################################################################### # SECTION: Output formatting for traps received. # # Output from snmptrapd is formatted according to the # rules defined by the formatting configuration directives. # format1: How SNMPv1 traps are formatted. # See the snmptrapd.conf manual page for format string details. # arguments: formatstring format1 # format2: How SNMPv2 and SNMPv3 traps are formatted. # See the snmptrapd.conf manual page for format string details. # arguments: formatstring format2 Thanks! |
