Setting Up SNMP Traps for a Linux Host
For a Linux host, you can
generate SNMP version 1 traps through an interface to an SNMP trap daemon
called sstrapd. By default, this daemon does not start automatically
during the boot process. The following steps describe how to enable trap
processing.
- Create the file /var/opt/dothill/ssagent/sstrapd.conf
using any standard text editor.
This file must be created with a list of either system names or IP addresses
(one per line) for the SNMP manager consoles. The file can contain blank
lines and comment lines.
- Edit the file /etc/init.d/ssagent
and remove the comment marks from the SNMP-related start section.
These lines are marked by an initial double hash mark (##).
- Save the file after these
edits.
The sstrapd daemon starts at the next boot or can be started
immediately by running the following command:
# /etc/init.d/ssagent uptrap
This starts the sstrapd daemon
as well as the other two SANscape daemons if they are not currently running.
Only one instance of each daemon is running at this point, whether or
not any daemons were previously running.
