Hi all,
I'm trying to get SNMP Traps from VMWare showing up in Xymon.
I think the issue is with the trap format from VMWare and I suspect I may need to tweak my snmptt.conf file for this.
I have attached my snmptt.conf file and here is a an example of what I am seeing in my /var/log/messages file. (Text in italics has replaced what actually shows in the log for security reasons)
Jul 8 11:08:02 hostname snmptrapd[7399]: 2011-07-08 11:08:02 full host name [IP ADDRESS] (via UDP: [IP ADDRESS
]:60701) TRAP, SNMP v1, community public SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.50 Enterprise Specific Trap (201) Uptime: 28 days, 20:3
3:40.64 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.50.301 = STRING: "At vm" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.50.302 = STRING: " " SNMP
v2-SMI::enterprises.6876.50.303 = STRING: "host name" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.50.304 = STRING: "Error (Red)" SNMPv2-SMI::
enterprises.6876.50.305 = STRING: "Error (Red)" SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.6876.50.306 = STRING: "Heartbeat is missing for VM - (Heartb
eat stopped)"
From what I can see it appears that VMWare sends multiple OID's in the same trap.
Has anybody got this working or can suggest a solution?
