Re: traphandle not firing for some traps

Disregard. Found the problem.

Subject: traphandle not firing for some traps


Hello,


  I'm running NET-SNMP version 5.4.1
on Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Jan 10 17:57:00 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Have a relatively large snmptrapd.conf file listing multiple trap handlers. MOST 
are working fine. Some don't seem to fire off their scripts at all. All my trap 
handling scripts write a message to a log file as soon as they're kicked off 
(before reading anything) so I can tell if they're getting triggered.

I can see in my /var/log/messages that the traps ARE coming in; and they're 
being parsed correctly. I enabled the logOption in snmptrapd.conf as well and 
can see in that file the trap contents - yet no sign they're firing off the trap 
handler scripts. 


I attached a copy of my snmptrapd.conf (note I also tried adding traphandle 
statement with numeric OIDs in case that helped; it doesn't). I can run all the 
scripts manually (either as the creator or as root) and they work fine; in 
particular the first thing they do is write to that log file - which I never see 
for the problematic SUN and Oracle  traps.

I've attached a copy of the snmpdebug file as well so you can see examples of 
what came in during one interval. Note that all the EMC/EMC-RecoverPoint traps 
come in and fire off their scripts just fine - even though the Recoverpoint 
traps have mib data issues (some embedded binary data due to MIB issues). In 
particular the Sun-HW traps and the Oracle CELL-ALERT traps are not firing off 
their respective scripts at ALL. Have stopped/restarted SNMP several times; no 
errors or warnings displayed. The trap identifiers in the snmptrapd.conf match 
exactly the names that show up in the /var/log/messages and snmpdebug file.

I've got extracts from the var/log/messages logged data as well. Nothing seems 
odd about these traps. They're all SNMPv1 and all use the "public" community 
string; so I'm at a loss as to why some fire and some don't.

I even tried firing up NET-SNMP with debugging enabled.. unfortunately the 
volume of "stuff"  filling up the logs caused me to shut that off before I saw 
anything meaningful/helpful.

Did I miss something simple??

Thanks in advance!
