snmp traps do not show in events

[Unix Administrator_5]

I can not get the system generated traps to show up under events. I can get a "Generic Unregistered" event to show up sent from the commandline. I have used tcpdump and snmptrapd to verify that the traps are being received on the SIM server. I have tested by unplugging a power supply and sent the Test Trap from the "System Management" page.

I have configured the community strings, I have enabled "Accept unregistered events". Still no luck.

Version: Systems Insight Manager 5.3 with Update 1 - Linux
Build version: C.05.03.01.00

Any suggestions?

hi,

is this system discovered in hp sim ?

If I understand this correctly, traps are being sent to the HP SIM Server and received on the server but not being picked up by HP SIM.

I don't work with Linux, but on Windows HP SIM uses the default snmp handler. Similar issues are usually because something else is intercepting the traps.

The systems have been discovered by SIM.

I have verified the CMS gets the traps using snmptrapd, but when I start SIM mxdomainmgr is listening on port 162 only the traps sent from the commandline get logged as events.

Is there any logs/debug that show what SIM receives?

Did you check that trap handling is enabled in SIM Options -> Events -> SNMP Trap Settings?

I think I figured it out. The client has two ips, frontend and backend. The HPSIM server knows it by the frontend ip, however when a trap is sent by Insight Manager on the client it gets tagged with the backend IP. How can I can I change this behavior? I have verified this is an issue by sending test traps with trapgen and snmptrap.

Got it working.

I added

v1trapaddress IPofNICtoUse

to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. I restarted everything and viola it works. However, when I send a test page from the System Management Homepage settings snmpd page it still gets the wrong IP, but everything else is working
