UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

We are using Zyrion Traverse to monitor all the servers. I like to set the traps on all of the Linux servers to send the traps to that servers.

So for on the /etc/snmp/snmp.conf file, this is what I have...

### SNMP Traps ###
trap2sink x.x.x.x # Traverse server


My goal is to get email alert when disk fails, or some one keeps tring to log in as root. or any other major errors that goes in /var/log/messages.

Please advice what settings is needed in snpd.conf file?

Thanks.

come on guys, I am sure many of you have created SNMP traps. just need little help, please advice.

Here is a link that shows how to do filesystem monitoring:

Monitoring disk space with Net-SNMP - OpenNMS | The OpenNMS Project

Rather than extending snmp to check these various things and report, I've created various scripts that run regularly, do their check and then manually generate traps using the snmptrap command.

To do this, you'll need to create your own mib file. Put that on each of your hosts to be monitored along with the scripts that will generate the traps.

Thank you so much for your advice. I will try to create the MIB and get back.

you should change the subject to SNMP. It currently reads SMTP.

sorry for the typo on the subject line. I don't have access to change subject line.
