I'm trying to push alarms from Hobbit to HPOV. We have a custom script that is invoking Netsnmp's snmptrap. The snmp traps are reaching the HP Node Manager Event Browser correctly. However, the OV operations trap condition is not recognizing the trap. The trap is being displayed as "unmatched" in the Message Browser even though there is a condition set up for that specific trap.
When we look at the unmatched trap, it appears that the OID is not being recognized and an '0' is inserted, for example instead of .1.3.6.1.4.1.7058.0.XX, we are seeing .0.0.XX.
The problem is somewhere in your custom script, since that's what generates the OID that is being fed to the snmptrap command.
The command you should end up with ought to look somewhat like
snmptrap -v1 -c public
172.16.10.100
""
hobbit.foo.com
0 0 ""
1.3.6.1.4.1.7058.1
s "This is a Hobbit trap message"
172.16.10.100 is the HPOV monitor IP-address, "hobbit.foo.com" is the hostname reporting the trap, "1.3.6...." is the trap OID.
At least, this generates an SNMP trap that Ethereal decodes as I would expect.
