Using Zabbix to send snmptraps

[SATux]

Hi all,

I have a situation where we need to send snmptraps to our command centre based on triggers from zabbix 1.1.7.

How can I get zabbix to send snmptraps?

Thanks

Traps

I think Zabbix can't make this(maybe i'm wrong), but there are several ways for making this

From your Linux console:
snmptrap -v1 -cpublic localhost .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.2 0 0 "" "" .1.3.6.1.4.1 s "trap12"
where localhost is the target computer or machine. This way you're sending a trap to your server.
There are another applications like mibbrowser that allow you sending traps.

I don't know if this was what you wanted to know, I hope it's usefull for you.
Bye!

Any change in the status of zabbix being able to send a trap (say to a root cause analysis system like ca spectrum?).

Isn't it possible to run a shell script on the zabbix server when a trigger flips?

I'm using 1.6.4. How do I get alerts from zabbix to another system.

Just write an action script. That's what I did.

I now have a perl script that calls snmptrap and takes parameters from the command line. It is setup as an action script on zabbix.

It work a treat!
