Found something related and now makes sense...

@jsmurphy
Thanks for the clarification! Yes, it looks like snmptt.ini is configured for standalone execution of snmptt. As arnab.roy mentioned, I don't have an snmptthanlder binary anywhere on this system, so i'll leave as is.

I'm going to have our "Trap" developer take a look at this to both verify it and see if we can get the installer changed for future releases.

Any additional information you guys can give would be great!

Thanks.

But the only problem i am getting is when in daemon mode it ignores the snmptt.ini entry of translate_trapoids. So when the alert for the trap comes through it contains the numeric oid instead of the translated string...

Thanks

I had/have the same issue... somewhere in this forum there's a post about it, but it holds no answers. I fiddled with the config for ages and managed to make it partially legible... at least legible enough that people vaguely new what they should be looking at when they received a notification for it.

It still doesn't properly translate the traps though.

I've just uploaded a new version of SNMPTT installer here. If you are willing to test it, please do. Let us know if it fixes these issues or if any of them remain problems.

Hello,

Agriffin, I haven't looked into the new code yet but will it overwrite if its run on top of an existing snmptt installation?

Thanks
Arnab

Yes, it will overwrite an existing installation.

Hey Alex, did you experience any issues with mistranslation after changing to the traphandler? were you able to resolve that?

Hello ,

Sorry to bearer of bad news but the install script fails with

cp: invalid option -- n
Try `cp --help' for more information.

As far as I know cp -n doesnt exist. Just not 100% sure what you are trying to do in those lines. Please have a look and let me know.

Many Thanks
Arnab

I'm not sure either, so I just removed the -n option. I also fixed the iptables code that another customer was having trouble with. The new version should finish uploading soon.
