Nagios is likely to be complaining in nagios.log. What do you see there? Possible problems -- Nagios isn't checking external commands. Nagios isn't accepting passive checks. Your script isn't writing to the correct nagios.cmd. Your script doesn't have permission to write to nagios.cmd. The service definition isn't configured for passive checks. The host name/service description being submitted don't match a known host/service combination. -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

There are a lot of things that could be broken here, and not enough information to tell you which one. Check your logs to make sure snmptt is getting the traps, and make sure that the trap(s) you're receiving are defined in its configs. If they are, verify that the EXEC command in the snmptt config is valid, and that it updates the status in Nagios if you run it manually. Do you ever see the result submitted to Nagios in the Nagios logs? If you do, check for errors in the command it's receiving. If you don't, your problem is farther back in the chain, with snmptt or snmptrapd. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Nagios-users] Nagios & SNMP traps
Hi friends of Nagios! I´m trying to monitor a service that works with snmp traps. The problem is that i recive the trap in my server, but nagios doesn´t do anything. The service status is "pending", also when the trap arrives into our server the status of the service that works with traps continues "pending". For making this work we follow a manual, we configured snmptrapd , we installed snmptrap translator and the simple event correlator (sec). Then we defined a service on Nagios to handle the traps on it. After that we introduced mib definition. The manual that we followed is this: http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9559/sam0503g/ Which migth be the problem? Any suggestion for monitor the traps? P.D. This problem happened on Nagios 2.7 and on recently upgraded Nagios 3.0a3- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[Nagios-users] nagios snmp traps??
Nagios 2.4 i have snmp translator installed and snmp, i would like to capture snmap traps and trsnalte the oid where i would view them in my log file how do i do this. A test for this would be a start I have read that you have to have MIBS uploaded in order for the snmp to translate proper oid ? as a test i have configured one of my routers to send traps to my linux box but i cant see any messages?? - Take Surveys.

My understanding is that I would have to configure the traps on the Cisco device to send event information to a central snmptrapd, then that info is passed on to the Nagios host which is listening for Passive Checks which will then alert us via pager/email etc..

How do I configure snmptrapd to pass this info onto Nagios? Do I need to use SNMPTT as an event correlator or not? If so, how is that configured?
