    Error in zabbix_server.conf settings for snmp traps on Appliance 4.4?

    Hi,
    I think there is a bug in the zabbix server config comming with the Zabbix VMWare OVA Appliance 4.4. I´ve installed a fresh copy of the appliance on a VMWare ESXi 6.5 host which I plan to use as a snmp proxy. Only changes to the appliance so far are the network settings the rest is vanilla. I´ve created a test host with a snmptrap.fallback item just to test if I could send data to the zabbix server. I then send a snmptrap from another machine to the server without any error messages but can´t see the data in zabbix. The data I send are both applied to /var/log/syslog and /var/log/zabbix/snmptrapfmt.log. Checking /var/log/zabbix/zabbix_server.log there were "cannot stat SNMP trapper file "/var/log/snmptrap/snmptrap.log": [2] No such file or directory" entries. I then checked the zabbix_server.conf file to find this two lines:
    SNMPTrapperFile=/var/log/zabbix/snmptrapfmt.log
    SNMPTrapperFile=/var/log/snmptrap/snmptrap.log
    While the second line overrides the first line I removed the second line from the config, restarted the zabbix server service and now all traps I send are showing up in Zabbix. Is this a misconfiguration of the appliance or has the second line a wrong option name?

    Best regards,

    Mike
