SNMP Traps Installation

[DieterV]

Dear Community,

for a school project I need to install and configure a Zabbix server in my classroom.
I can monitore some computers and servers now, with agent or snmp.
But I can't get SNMP traps working.

I tried several guides on installing it.

This one

http://zabbix.org/wiki/ConfigureSnmptrapsCentos6_RHEL6

Where I got stuck on the yum install snmptt, it couldn't find that package.

And this one

https://www.zabbix.org/wiki/Start_with_SNMP_traps_in_Zabbix

Where I can do the whole configuration but after all it doesn't do anything. Some of the traps get into the /tmp directory but not all. And nothing is reported on the Zabbix webpage.

Anyone has a better guide or ideas where it went wrong?

I'm running Zabbix 2.2.2 on a Centos6.5

Thanks, Dieter V

Not sure if it can be helpful for you, but under Ubuntu, traps are working good. I use 3rd method (without snmptt) from this article (but it in another language): va0816_blogspot_ru/2013/06/zabbix-snmp-traps.html

you need then to test if your port 10051 is open (telnet work).
Related commands:
for testing sender:

/usr/bin/zabbix_sender -T -z (server-ip-addr) -p 10051 -s "Zabbix server" -k zabbixTrapKey -o "kkkkk" -r

for see any error messages:

sudo snmptrapd -Le -n -f

generate trap:

snmptrap -v 2c -c public (ip) '.1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1' '0.0.0.0' 6 33 '55' .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.1 s "teststring000"
