SNMP Traps - We are converting to Xymon from BB
Hi Jason,
I think you need to provide some more information. What are you using in BB to catch, decode, and react to the traps? How is it configured?

If anyone can help (since BB has been dead for a while) it would be appreciated.
We have SNMP traps setup to be received in our Big Brother environment but instead of sending the trap back to itself for processing it is sending the data to the IP of the other Big Brother (now Xymon) system. We want to keep the SNMP traps on the Big Brother system until we put the xymon system in place completely. Does anyone know why it is sending to a different IP than the IP of the system the SNMP trap was received on...and where that is set in order to make this stop...

Greg...
I am using the built in BB trap handler. When a trap is received by BB it is packaged and stored in the <BBHOME>/var/trap location. At that point the trap is sent by BB to "itself" and this is where I am confused as to what is happening.
We have two BBDISPLAY systems and I we are trying to send traps to both. I sent a test trap to the machine called BBTG2 via its IP address. When I do a strace on the bbdtrap process that is running it shows that the trap is being sent to the BBTG1 system instead of "itself" which is the BBTG2 system. I think that this process may be using the bb-hosts file like a /etc/hosts file where it is looking for the first line and assuming that is the local system. Since BBTG1 and 2 use the same bb-hosts file the top system in the list is the BBTG1 system on both systems. At this point all traps are being sent to the BBTG1 system. Since I can't see the actual code for bbdtrap and/or the bbtrap-handler process as they are both BINARY files it is kind of hard to determine how the program works internally.
Additionally, the only configuration file for the trap handling is called snmptrapd.conf which states only to use bbtrap-handler and send the trap to a tmp file on the system. There are no other configuration files for the SNMP trap handling on the Big Brother system.
Thanks Jason

Jason,
I'm a long time BB/Xymon user. The original FOSS BB, had no trap handler. I see from poking google, the professional version of BB did/does have one:
http://bb.etermar.pt/bb/skins/eng/help/help/Receiving_SNMP_traps.htm
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but I don't think xymon has a native one either, but I remembered this is from the days of the FOSS BB:
http://cerebro.victoriacollege.edu/hobbit-trap.html
And you may or may not already know about xymonton... It seems to have copies of all the stuff deadcat used to have for BB.
https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php
I usually have to tweak the stuff from xymonton to get it to work right, but it's been extremely useful
And just on the general topic of SNMP: After 30 years messing with networks, I have discovered that SNMP is NOT always what I expect. Different implementations some times return different results. Most of my systems are linux with net-snmp. I have a few, that I recently have begun to monitor, that are OS X (various revisions) with net-snmp. The data returned isn't always the same as my linux boxen. Again, I've had to fiddle a bit to find the OIDs for what I'm trying to watch. Same deal for Cisco gear.... And THAT varies from model to model! Devmon is what I've been using for that.

Unfortunately, I was only able to rescue some bits of deadcat, I was hoping to be able to save more but it didn't pan out and I have no idea what Dell did with that content. Devmon is likely the best option for now. There is a section for Devmon on Xymonton but it is, sadly, barren. IIRC, Henrik was looking to add SMTP traps to Xymon 5 but that has not yet surfaced outside of mentions in the mailing list archives.

Galen,
I was pretty familiar with deadcat. I'd say you got the lions share of what was useful.
Devmon itself is kind of barren. As I mentioned, with devmon, I've been able to identify SNMP differences between platforms and something that *looks* like a memory leak. I have to kill devmon periodically and restart it to eliminate the memory it comes to use. I haven't really had time to chase that down though.

Bruce Ferrell

I've been using this method for quite a few years.
http://cerebro.victoriacollege.edu/hobbit-trap.html
A lot of moving parts and you need to track down the MIBs to start creating snmptt translation tables, then hand tweak as various unknown traps appear, but like anything you can get it working how you want if you persist long enough.

Ok so I figured out how this thing is configured with BB...
You have to have the BBDISPLAY system you want to send to as the first BBDISPLAY in the BB-HOSTS file on the system. With us since we have two we have to put whatever system we are on first in the list. restart the BB service and it works. Then when you send a trap to each server it will send to both displays...otherwise it will send only to one if you have the same BB-HOSTS on each system.
