RE: snmptrapd traphandle traptoemail not working

Wow, something even I can answer!  ;-)
You need to include 'execute' with your authCommunity line like this:

autoCommunity log,execute public

then it will log AND execute your traphandle

-mark

Subject: snmptrapd traphandle traptoemail not working

Hi all,

This is my first time dabbling with the snmptrapd program.  I am using Ubuntu on a fairly unmodified snmp setup.

Just trying to set up a very basic email forwarder so that all snmp traps are sent via email to the administrators address.

The snmptrapd.conf I am using is

"
authCommunity log public
traphandle default /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/traptoemail -s localhost -f <FROMADDRESS> <MYADDRESS>
"

I can see the traps being logged in the syslog when snmptrapd is running, but I do not receive any emails.

I have also tried the following test of the traptoemail script and received the email fine.

"(echo localhost; echo 127.0.0.1; echo snmpTrapOID oidValue ; echo sysUpTime 1) | /usr/bin/traptoemail -f <FROMADDRESS> -s localhost <MYADDRESS>"

I am now completely stuck, I have tried every variation I can find for the traphandle line and still nothing.

Is there anyway I can debug what snmptrapd is doing other that the default syslog output?

Thanks in advance.
