Nagios Support Forum

I need help to setup nagios xi to listen for cisco syslog message. The snmp trap wizard does not do anything.

How far along in the SNMP trap wizard did you get? That would be the best way to monitor it directly with Nagios.

I use the wizard, but I noticed the "check command" drop box has nothing selected.

the "snmp trap" has an additional template, called xiwizard_snmptrap_service.

When I look at the check command for "xiwizard_snmptrap_service", it shows "check_dummy"

Did you run the script and guidelines found in:

Is snmptt running?

service snmptt status

For the sake of troubleshooting snmptt lets enable logs, in the /etc/snmp/snmptt.ini change the following variables:

log_enable = 1
log_system_enable = 1
unknown_trap_log_enable = 1

Now make the dir snmptt in var/log

mkdir /var/log/snmptt
cd /var/log/snmptt
touch snmptt.log snmpttunknown.log
chmod 666 *

service snmptt restart

Now tail the logs, you should be getting your syslog messages in there, if you're not we'll have to try another route.

This is what I am getting in the log:


[root@dev-nagios snmptt]# tail /var/log/snmptt/snmpttsystem.log
