I have to monitor a thing that works with snmptraps, but I don`t know what I have to do. You need to have a machine that listens for SNMP traps. The program snmptrapd does this, it comes with net-snmp package. This daemon writes the trap info to the system log, or alternately runs a program and passes it the trap information. That program can then submit a check to nagios using NSCA or by writing to the nagios.cmd pipe. I found this article to be very helpful: http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9559/sam0503g/ Mike - 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.

I use SNMPTT (http://www.snmptt.org/) though you may want to look at OpsView (http://www.opsview.org/) as is seems to do a great job at simplifying the trap setup. Then you set up the service as volatile. People usually disable active checks and use freshness checking to get the trap reset automatically after some time. If you rather want the service to stay in a non-OK state until someone change it you can make it active (It won't be scheduled if volatile) and have someone force an active check to reset the trap. In either case it the check command should looks like: check_command check_dummy!0!Trap reset on $LONGDATETIME$ and check_dummy should run something like: $USER1$/check_dummy $ARG1$ $ARG2$ Thomas - 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.
