SNMP Traps EE

Installation

To install the SNMPTrapModule, execute the following command:

apt-get install openitcockpit-module-snmp-trap

How this works:

The traps are accepted by snmptrapd and passed to snmptthandler. This will store spool files in the folder /var/spool/snmptt, which in turn will be processed/translated by the snmptt daemon and stored in the database. Finally, the traps are checked and processed in the database using the plugin check_snmptraps.pl. A cron job regularly deletes old and obsolete snmptraps from the database.

In the log file /var/log/snmptt/snmptt.debug, you can see which traps were able to be processed or were unknown. You also have the option to turn off debugging.

To do this, navigate to System Configuration -> System -> Configuration File Editor and select the file /opt/openitc/etc/SnmpTrapModule/snmptt.ini. Now set the debugging value to 1.

Test

As a test, a status such as linkDown can be set to Critical in /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf. Traps can then be generated with the following commands (the OID may have to be adjusted):

SNMP v2

snmptrap -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 "" .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3
snmptrap -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 "" .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4

SNMP v3

With Engine ID and authPriv

snmptrap -Ci -e 0x8000123acd1ab43abbfff000fa -v 3 -a SHA -A traptest1 -x AES -X traptest2 -l authPriv -u trapreceiver localhost 0 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3
snmptrap -Ci -e 0x8000123acd1ab43abbfff000fa -v 3 -a SHA -A traptest1 -x AES -X traptest2 -l authPriv -u trapreceiver localhost 0 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4

without Engine ID (INFORMs) and authPriv

snmptrap -Ci -v 3 -a SHA -A traptest1 -x AES -X traptest2 -l authPriv -u trapreceiver localhost 0 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3
snmptrap -Ci -v 3 -a SHA -A traptest1 -x AES -X traptest2 -l authPriv -u trapreceiver localhost 0 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4
