send snmp traps to a linux host

[Marco Müller]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to send a snmp trap to one of my monitoring hosts in the same network. On this monitoring host, running under SLES8, I have several tools to send, receive packets: snmpget, snmpsend, snmpwalk,...

Now I'm a bit confused after looking on my HP-UX 10.20 server. There is nothing like that! *grr* So I tried to find the right depot file for me to install but I don't think I have found something could help me.

I was on the HP-UX porting center and found tricklet, but that's not working the way it does in SLES8. There are also many threads of others in the forum the have the same problem - but no solutions like "go there, install depot xyz, go to directory abc, activate daemon, enter ghi to test it, finished".

Can anybody give me a hint to solve that? :-)

Thanks
Marco

MeasureWare Agent have a tool for simply sending an snmp trap :

/opt/perf/bin/trapsend

Running it without any argument displays all arguments.

Or Openview NNM utility (from the APPS CD's, without a passscode to do this) ovevent :

For example :
/opt/OV/bin/ovevent 192.68.0.15 .1.3.6.1.4.1.4530.1.0.1

Install net-snmp:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12694

There are 10.20 binaries there for HP-UX - that will install the snmp utilities in /usr/local/bin - including snmptrap command.

Oups, i just forgot the most popular for unix systems :

http://www.ece.ucdavis.edu/ucd-snmp/

So there are yet no "hp depot", sorry.
You have to do "from hand", reading 1 or 2 txt files.
Good luck !

Thanks everybody! I forgot to give points for the answers. Sorry for that - I did it right before. :-)
