Hello Bill

Thank you for inputs.
Isn’t snmpd.log rotated on receiving the HUP signal ? How can we check 
“logrotate” is running on server ? It’s a free bsd box and would output of any 
command provide hint the reason of HUP signal

How can we log timestamp in snmpd.log ?

Thank you
Krishna Vivek

Hello experts,

We have a management server running snmpd where it is sending nsNotifyRestart 
traps. The frequency is once per day during same time.
May I know on what occasions this trap is raised and I don’t get to see any 
logs in management server restarting agent(snmpd), though we see following in 
snmpd.log.

I went to https://lmgtfy.com/?q=nsNotifyRestart and the first search result was 
http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ:Agent_15 which says:

The Net-SNMP agent ... generates an enterprise-specific trap 'nsNotifyRestart' 
... on receiving a HUP signal - typically after being re-configured.

One interesting thing to note is that "logrotate" is pretty likely to send a 
HUP to a daemon whose logs it's configured to rotate.  Does your trap happen to 
coincide with when "logrotate" runs on your server?
