Re: [nv-l] Traps not formatting right!

So you are saying that  what you have is an agent which is sending one
thing, while its MIB says it will send another.  That's not all that
uncommon.

If that's the case, then use xnmtrap to correct the OID to what is actually
sent.

Hi,
Back again.. I have sucessfully loaded Nokia System
trap definitions into netview using mib2trap command.
They are defined under 1.3.6.1.4.1.94.1.21.1.0. in
xnmtrap. Now when we receive traps from nokia device,
the TEC shows as below:

Trap found with no known format in trapd.conf(4)
Enterprise ENTERPRISES (1.3.6.1.4.1.94.1.21.1)
community test  generic trap:6 specific trap:4
Timestamp:315688386 Agentaddr:testnokia.us.com
args(4):  [1] hrPartitionEntry.hrPartitionIndex.3.1
(Integer): 1  [2]
hrPartitionEntry.hrPartitionLabel.3.1 (OctetString):
/dev/wd0f  [3] hrPartitionEntry.hrPartitionSize.3.1
(Integer): 396952  [4]
host.hrDevice.hrFSTable.hrFSEntry.hrFSMountPoint.1
(OctetString): /  "

Take a look at the OID in the event. It is without
last digit "0" from xnmtrap. Now my question is,why is
the diffence in OID? how do i decode this unformatted
trap. What am i supposed to understand from this
unformatted trap?
Many thanks as usual to all..
Larry
