Hobbit-trap won't display traps]
list Josephine Tsikoudaki
Hello again... Has anyone got any idea in how to handle the following? Sorry to bring it up again but I haven't found anything to help... I am really stuck here... Josephine
Hello all I am having trouble receiving SNMP traps from my hosts using the implementation of: http://cerebro.victoriacollege.edu/hobbit-trap.html In details: I followed the instructions in my hobbit server. We have several servers and some dell DRAC consoles among them. When I enable the snmp alerts through the DRAC and send a test alert I receive the trap and the "trap" column is created and the trap message appears. When I send a test trap from a server (not a console) i see the trap coming in my hobbit-server logs, both from snmptrapd and snmptt, but the trap column never appears for this host, the trap is not being displayed and i don't see anything in the snmpttunknown log or the ghost client menu of Hobbit. If it wasn't for the consoles I'd presumed that perhaps the trap.pl or trap.sh scripts won't work correctly but given the successful results of the method in the DRAC consoles I wonder what can possibly be wrong... The servers that I run the tests from all have hobbit client installed but I tried also from a server without the client installed, simply sending a trap test to the hobbit server. No results either. I would appreciate any suggestions... Thanks a lot Josephine. plain text document attachment (ATT2638439.txt), "ATT2638439.txt"

Hello Josephine, You mentioned you see the trap in the snmptrapd and snmptt logs. Try enabling logging for sec and trap.sh. You can enable sec logging by updating the OPTIONS2 variable in the rc.d/rc.sec init script from cerebro so it will look like this: OPTIONS2="-input=/var/log/messages -input=/var/log/snmp/snmpttunknown.log -log=/var/log/sec-snmp.log" In the server/ext/trap.sh from cerebro update the last line which calls trap.pl to append its STDOUT to a log file of your choosing: /home/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd --env=$HOBBITCFG $TRAPCLIENT -C -s $3 -t $4 -d "$1" -m "$5 ($2)" >> /var/log/trap.log Now you should be able trace the trap's entire journey and see if the status update sent to Xymon is being formatted correctly. -- Brian Majeska On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 4:35 AM, Josephine Tsikoudaki <

Not sure if anyone already replied, but look at your snmptrapd log and see what format the trap is coming in as. The trap format may be different or more likely the hostname is different (maybe fully qualified or not) and not matching what you have in your sec.conf file
