Having a hell of a time with SNMP traps

[HaveDill]

Hey guys,

I just can't get SNMP traps to work for the life of me, i've followed probably 7 guides now, step by step and adjusting the coding for the locations of my sender's etc to where they actually are located on my server - but nothing works.

The closest i got was the PERL version on the documentation to collect traps from the zabbix server itself - but when i have a switch send a trap to zabbix it doens't see it.

Does anyone have an up to date guide i can follow? This is super frustrating.


The point im at right now, is i followed the guide on the documentation (again). Zabbix sees the trap if i run
snmptrap -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 '.1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3' '0.0.0.0' 6 33 '55' .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3 s “teststring000” LOCALLY, but when sending from a cisco/arista it doesn't see them at all.

I used this one: Start with SNMP traps in Zabbix.

It works for me with no problems.

Hey, I have same problems with SNMP traps. Just can't get it working.

I'm using SNMPTRAPD -> SNMPTT -> ZABBIX procedure.

I followed also guide above and I alsways ended up with this:

Zabbix receive trap but I can't see nothing in latest data in that item. Not until i switch "Type information" from "log" to "text". Then I see whole trap.

Can someone help me please figure out what am I doing wrong?

Debian with Zabbix 3.0A2


snmptrapd.conf

traphandle default /usr/sbin/snmptt

snmptt.ini

date_time_format = %H:%M:%S %Y/%m/%d
log_file = /var/log/snmptt/snmptt.log

snmptt.conf

EVENT general .* "General event" Normal
FORMAT ZBXTRAP $aA $ar Unknown trap

zabbix_server.conf

SNMPTrapperFile=/var/log/snmptt/snmptt.log
StartSNMPTrapper=1

Item:
Name: SNMP TRAP TEST
Type: SNMP trap
Key: snmptrap[.*]
Type of information: Log
Log time format: hh:mm:ss yyyy/MM/dd


With this configuration I dont see any lastest data data received in item SNMP TRAP TEST. When I switch type of informaiton to text, i see whole trap with datestamp as one string in latest data.

Thanks a lot for any help.

I see whole trap too. But my alerts send the trigger names and not item value.

I use as type of information "log" and works.
