SNMP Problem - SNMP not getting to the agent.
I am having a problem with an SNMP event, and I am not sure where I should be looking to solve this problem.

Description:

There is an SNMP event in our system that for one reason or another is not getting sent out as an email because it is never getting to our SNMP agent.
I see where the event is raised in the code, and this event is raised just like the other SNMP events that come out as log messages and then get sent out as emails. I looked to make sure the OIDs match in the .act file and MIB file and they do. Everything seems to be in place as far as the .act and MIB file go. I also verified that the user I am trying to send this SNMP email to can get emails. This event is getting logged in our system too and I checked that. We have other SNMPs that get sent to our customer but not us, so I know there is an issue somewhere but do not know where to look. I have asked everyone at my company and no one seems to know why this is not working. This is an SNMP that has been in the code for a long time but never seemed to get sent out as an email.

Does anyone have any advice on where to look or what might be causing this? If more detail is needed, I'd be happy to supply as much as I know/can.

Thanks in advance

mon::snmp

Mon::SNMP(3pm)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					    Mon::SNMP(3pm)

NAME

       Mon::SNMP - decode SNMP trap

SYNOPSIS

	   use Mon::SNMP;

	   $trap = new Mon::SNMP;

	   $trap->buffer($snmptrap);

	   %traphash = $trap->decode;

	   $error = $trap->error;

DESCRIPTION

       Mon::SNMP provides methods to decode SNMP trap PDUs. It is based on Graham Barr's Convert::BER module, and its purpose is to provide SNMP
       trap handling to "mon".

       It is not complete, so don't bother trying to use it unless you are ready to debug and write some code.

METHODS

       new creates a new Mon::SNMP object.

       buffer ( buffer )
	   Assigns a raw SNMP trap message to the object.

       decode
	   Decodes a SNMP trap message, and returns a hash of the variable assignments for the SNMP header and trap protocol data unit of the
	   associated message. The hash consists of the following members:

		   version	   =>	   SNMP version(1)
		   community	   =>	   community string
		   ent_OID	   =>	   enterprise OID of originating agent
		   agentaddr	   =>	   IP address of originating agent
		   generic_trap    =>	   /COLDSTART|WARMSTART|LINKDOWN|LINKUP|AUTHFAIL|EGPNEIGHBORLOSS|ENTERPRISESPECIFIC/
		   specific_trap   =>	   specific trap type (integer)
		   timeticks	   =>	   timeticks (integer)
		   varbindlist	   =>	   { oid1 => value, oid2 => value, ... }

ERRORS

       All methods return a hash with no elements upon errors which they detect, and the detail of the error is available from the

EXAMPLES

	   use Mon::SNMP;

	   $trap = new Mon::SNMP;

	   $trap->buffer($snmptrap);

	   %traphash = $trap->decode;

	   foreach $oid (keys $traphash{"varbindlist"}) {
	       $val = $traphash{"varbindlist"}{$oid};
	       print "oid($oid) = val($val)
";
	   }

ENVIRONMENT

       None.

SEE ALSO

       Graham Barr's Convert::BER module.

NOTES

CAVEATS

       Mon::SNMP depends upon Convert::BER to do the real work.
