SNMP Traps - We are converting to Xymon from BB

Ok so I figured out how this thing is configured with BB...

You have to have the BBDISPLAY system you want to send to as the first
BBDISPLAY in the BB-HOSTS file on the system.  With us since we have two we
have to put whatever system we are on first in the list.  restart the BB
service and it works. Then when you send a trap to each server it will send
to both displays...otherwise it will send only to one if you have the same
BB-HOSTS on each system.

A lot of moving parts and you need to track down the MIBs to start
creating snmptt translation tables, then hand tweak as various unknown
traps appear, but like anything you can get it working how you want if
you persist long enough.

Galen,

I was pretty familiar with deadcat. I'd say you got the lions share of
what was useful.

Devmon itself is kind of barren.  As I mentioned, with devmon, I've
been able to identify SNMP differences between platforms and something
that *looks* like a memory leak. I have to kill devmon periodically
and restart it to eliminate the memory it comes to use.  I haven't
really had time to chase that down though.

Regards,

Bruce Ferrell

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:

    http://cerebro.victoriacollege.edu/hobbit-trap.html

    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.

    https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php

    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.

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
