HP insight manager snmp traps

[Ragni Singh]

Hello, I have the psp installed and running on my rhel5.5 hp server. I have generated multiple alerts and am seeing it on my management home page, however the events are not getting recorded on teh SIM server. Here is a copy of my snmpd.conf file.

Any ideas why teh events are not getting registered on the SIM server.

dlmod cmaX /usr/lib64/libcmaX64.so
rwcommunity palm1private 127.0.0.1
rocommunity public 127.0.0.1
rwcommunity palm1private 148.92.202.172
rocommunity public 148.92.202.172..this is the ip address of the localhost.
trapcommunity palm1private

Do you have net-snmp RPM's installed, will not work without them? Also, you need sudo as well.

If not I would recommend you install the following:
net-snmp-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.x86_64
net-snmp-libs-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.x86_64
net-snmp-utils-5.3.2.2-9.el5_5.1.x86_64

I always use some basic tool like SNMPUTIL on my SIM server to test trap delievery. Since it's possible to recieve traps on your SIM server but not have them displayed via SIM.

Here is where your can get a copy: http://www.wtcs.org/snmp4tpc/testing.htm#SNMPUTIL

It's free!

To listen for traps just do the following snmputil.exe trap

Now send a test trap from your server and you will see the trap values if recieved.

Good luck

Thank you, I really feel the issue is with my snmpd.conf file. Could someone please send me their working snmpd.file file so I can compare with mine and see what I'm missing?POints will be assigned to all in the end.
