This is a multipart message in MIME format. You might want to have a look at the man page for trapd.conf and see if it
will answer some of your questions.
I don't understand what you mean when you say that it is not receiving
the "Source". The "Source" is a single character indicating origin. In
this case the trap must be configured as an Agent trap in trapd.conf,
because there is a big "A" in the log before each variable. If you mean
the originating node, that is given by the "10.73.7.242" IP address, so this
device must not be in DNS or /etc/hosts. If it
were, then trapd would resolve that to a hostname.
Nothing is stored in UNIX. Traps pass through and trapd formats them,
logs them, and passes them on to other processes. That's all there is to
it. If the trap has ten variables and you only format one, the others are
not displayed or logged anywhere.
Based on the excerpt, this trap is configured with the Log Message being
set to
$E $G $S $# $*
which means to display, in order, the enterprise (dl3800) generic id (6)
specific id (108) number of variables (4 args:) and then display each
variable in turn. Each number in a bracket [1] represents a variable, and
since there are four, it takes 5 lines to display the entire thing.
Clearly you are getting all that is being sent.
What are you expecting that you would ask "how can I determine whether or not
the DL3800 is actually
sending this information.?". Of course it is, where else would all this come
from?

Subject: [NV-L] trap question
Hey all...
We're running NV602 on AIX 433.... I have a question about Traps.
I have a Digital Link DL3800 set to send traps to netview and it all
appears to be working just fine, however, it's not receiving the 'Source'
my question is, how can I determine whether or not the DL3800 is actually
sending this information.? I have looked in the trapd.log file and I
don't
see anything in there, but does that store the entire trap or only what it
knows about and can format?
Any advice to help me figure this out would be greatly appreciated...
here's the entries from the trapd.log file as well...
