It's not clear that snmptt is actually being invoked.<br>
<br>
In my logs I see each trap twice - once the raw snmptrapd log and
once processed by snmptt - note that snmptt can format a message
however it likes, discarding trap params according to the FORMAT
statement (which is static text in the example below - depends what
snmpttconvertmib finds by default)<br>

The trap above is a vpxdTrap which according to the definition has 6

For a start, verify that snmptt is actually working.<br>
