ESX hosts not sending traps

Ed Sekula — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 15:07:33 GMT

HP SIM: 5.1 with SP1

SIM agent 8.2 installed on ESH hosts running 3.5 update 2

Systems were discovered in SIM, and I can get to the System management Homepage. When I send a Test Trap from the homepage, it is never received in SIM...

Did I miss something while setting this up?

Thanks

What your snmpd.conf looks like ?

there should be
trapsink SIM IP community string(public)

thanks for the quick response...

Just a note, I recommend editing up the hpmgmt.conf file from the example provided with all of the SNMP details.
You can then use this in a silent install. It's nice as it'll save a lot of typing if you're doing multiple installs and ensures you get the same setup across different hosts.

Details are in the README in the unpacked agents directory.

maybe try restart daemon :

/usr/sbin/snmpd
