[manosnms]

Hello,

Is there any manual on how to setup SNMP traps in Zabbix 5.0?


I have follow this procedure

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...types/snmptrap

but while starting the snmptt service I receive the below error:

[root@zabbix snmp]# systemctl status snmptt.service -l

Your version of perl is missing the Sys::Syslog module.

You don't say what Linux distro you're using, but at least on RHEL-like systems, including CentOS and Fedora, you can probably just do

sudo yum install perl-Sys-Syslog

and try again. Alternately, if you look at the messages snmptt output, there may be a configuration setting you can change (syslog_enable) to make it so that Sys::Syslog is not required by the program.
