[nv-l] nvsnmptrap not working

["Karl Prinelle" <Karl.Prinelle@elyzium.co.uk>]

Hi list,

 

Bit of an odd one....  I'm testing a problem on Win2k and NV 7.1.4 - it's just some updates to the .cds file. 

 

I've already made my changes and they worked ok - nvsnmptrap sends trap to the NV events list & they go on to TEC - a little script I have contains a test of each trap & running that shows they all went through ok.  No problem - left it for a day & a reboot later & now traps don't work!

 

To qualify that - my nvsnmptrap calls run, have no output but nothing appears in the Netview events list or trapd.log.  I've switched tracing on (trapd -t c:\temp\trapd-trace.log), the trace file says nothing too - apart from that it's starting. 

 

Internal traps are coming through, no problem!  The odd thing is that I can still see the traps I sent previously in the events list so I know I'm not going completely mad.  I've checked that the traps are all defined as Status Events & not Log only, but either way they should appear in the trapd.log/trace files???

 

Below is the nvsnmptrap call I'm using. 

 

nvsnmptrap 192.168.1.51 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.3 10.10.11.51 6 2 1  .1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.3.5 OctetString "Test string" .1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.3.16.3.1.19 Integer 9999

 

As a possibly related aside, I changed the nvsnmptrap call to be snmptrap and ran it on my Linux machine & it worked fine - well, I got unknown formatted trap because I didn't load the trap definitions, but trapd.log on linux shows that it was my correct trap coming in...

 

Any pointers appreciated - have I pressed some magic "switch off my traps" button ?

 

Ta in advance

 

K
