RE: snmptrapd traphandle traptoemail not working

Thank you so much!

 

I was just about ready to jump out a window.  I was so focused on
getting the trap handle line correct that I didn't think to check the
authCommunity line.

 

Thanks again.

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.
