snmptraps snmptt failing installation

[ytrewq]

Hello,

I desperately want to be able to receive snmp traps.
Currently I'm testing with the VMWare appliance from Zabbix 2.
As I understand I have to isnstall SNMPTT (Embedded Handler) to do this I follow the SNMPTT overview but cannot manage to register is as a service.

chkconfig --add snmptt gives the following result:

insserv: script snmptt is broken: incomplete LSB comment.
insserv: missing `Default-Start:' entry: please add even if empty.
insserv: script snmptt is not an executable regular file, skipped!
insserv: warning: script 'zabbix_appliance_postboot' missing LSB tags and overrides
insserv: Default-Start undefined, assuming default start runlevel(s) for script `zabbix_appliance_postboot'

Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native
systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native
systemd configuration.


As I am not a real linux guru I'm kind of stuck here and as there is not much result in Googleing kind of wonder if I'm not completely on the wrong track.

Any help appreciated

Hi Qwerty,

I also have the same issues when I tried this command from http://snmptt.sourceforge.net/docs/snmptt.shtml. I'm also a newbie in all of the aspects of Zabbix, Linux, MySQL and PHP.

Did you ever found a solution to this issue?

Hope to hear from you soon.


Regards,
J

Tried google search and stumbled upon this:

https://code.google.com/p/conman/issues/detail?id=14

Added the following:

# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop:

Somehow the error messages were fewer.

I went on with the:
chkconfig --add snmptt

Then:
chkconfig --level 2345 snmptt on

Then:
service snmptt start
I have the following error:
/etc/init.d/snmptt: line 26: .:/etc/init.d/functions: No such file of directory directory
Starting snmptt: /etc/init.d/snmptt: line 34: daemon: command not found

touch: cannot touch `/var/lock/subsys/snmptt`" No such file or directory

Now, I'm stuck. If you ever solved this issue, could you please share it with me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The 'daemon' command isn't a part of OpenSUSE, use the 'startproc' command instead. Also, you'll need to create the /var/lock/subsys directory. Here's the header of my snmptt init.d script

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: snmptt
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Required-Start: $syslog $local_fs
# Required-Stop: $syslog $local_fs
# Should-Start: $network snmptrapd
# Should-Stop: $network snmptrapd
# Short-Description: SNMP Trap Translator daemon
### END INIT INFO

# source function library
#. /etc/init.d/functions


SNMPTT=/usr/sbin/snmptt
OPTIONS="--daemon"
RETVAL=0
prog="snmptt"

start() {
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
        startproc $SNMPTT $OPTIONS
        RETVAL=$?
        echo
        return $RETVAL
}

Hi Matt,

Thank you for the reply.

Yes I did actually created a directory /var/lock/subsys.
Will give the snmpt init.d a try.

But may I know if you were you able to get this correctly? I mean the snmptt setup, I'm kinda close to giving up on this idea. I'm I on the correct path to have my Windows services monitored?

Well, to be honest, I'm just getting into it and still working through it myself, but yes, the daemon starts
