snmp traps fail

[DigiDoc TechAdmin]

hpsim 6.2

Hello all.

I have the entries below in my mxdomainmgr.0.log
when snmp traps should get through.
The snmp trap service is running.
Does anyone know what this error means and how i can fix these traps getting through?
Other v1 traps work ok.

Could it be that your server is also or was once a HP NNM server? In this case the trap handler is replaced with a HP NNM version.

I would enable unregistered events in the event filter menu. "No send mail process running" could indicate that an older insight agents could be the source of the trap.

Thank you for the quick answer.
This is however a newly installed proliant server with a fresh install of only hpsim, so no hp nnm.
The trap comes from the net-snmp disman-event-mib when defaultMonitors is set to yes on linux hosts running net-snmp.
Somehow the error seems to indicate something is going wrong with the conversion of v2 trap to v1?

I am seeing the same problem on HPSIM V6.3 (Hotfix Jun 2011).

The input string is simply "  ".

The devices it is comming from does send V2 traps (whatever they are) and do not get through. There are 3 of these devices and all do the same.

All other systems (many) sending V1 traps are fine.
