SNMP Traps - We are converting to Xymon from BB

Unfortunately, I was only able to rescue some bits of deadcat,  I was
hoping to be able to save more but it didn't pan out and I have no idea
what Dell did with that content.  Devmon is likely the best option for
now.  There is a section for Devmon on Xymonton but it is, sadly, barren.
 IIRC, Henrik was looking to add SMTP traps to Xymon 5 but that has not yet
surfaced outside of mentions in the mailing list archives.

Jason,

I'm a long time BB/Xymon user.  The original FOSS BB, had no trap
handler.  I see from poking google, the professional version of BB did/does
have one:

http://bb.etermar.pt/bb/skins/eng/help/help/Receiving_SNMP_traps.htm

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but I don't think xymon has a
native one either, but I remembered this is from the days of the FOSS BB:

And you may or may not already know about xymonton... It seems to have
copies of all the stuff deadcat used to have for BB.

I usually have to tweak the stuff from xymonton to get it to work right,
but it's been extremely useful

And just on the general topic of SNMP: After 30 years messing with
networks, I have discovered that SNMP is NOT always what I expect.
Different implementations some times return
different results.  Most of my systems are linux with net-snmp.  I have a
few, that I recently have begun to monitor, that are OS X (various
revisions) with net-snmp.  The data
returned isn't always the same as my linux boxen.  Again, I've had to
fiddle a bit to find the OIDs for what I'm trying to watch. Same deal for
Cisco gear.... And THAT varies from
model to model! Devmon is what I've been using for that.

Regards,
Bruce Ferrell

Hi Jason,

I think you need to provide some more information.  What are you using
in BB to catch, decode, and react to the traps? How is it configured?

    Question is more related to Big Brother in our interim before we
move to Xymon....

    If anyone can help (since BB has been dead for a while) it would be
appreciated.

    We have SNMP traps setup to be received in our Big Brother
environment but instead of sending the trap back to itself for processing
it is sending the data to the IP of the
    other Big Brother (now Xymon) system.  We want to keep the SNMP
traps on the Big Brother system until we put the xymon system in place
completely.  Does anyone know why it is
    sending to a different IP than the IP of the system the SNMP trap
was received on...and where that is set in order to make this stop...

    Thanks
