[Xymon] Hobbit-trap won't display traps]

[Brian Majeska]

Hello Josephine,

You mentioned you see the trap in the snmptrapd and snmptt logs.  Try
enabling logging for sec and trap.sh.

You can enable sec logging by updating the OPTIONS2 variable in the
rc.d/rc.sec init script from cerebro so it will look like this:

OPTIONS2="-input=/var/log/messages
-input=/var/log/snmp/snmpttunknown.log -log=/var/log/sec-snmp.log"

In the server/ext/trap.sh from cerebro update the last line which calls
trap.pl to append its STDOUT to a log file of your choosing:

/home/hobbit/server/bin/bbcmd --env=$HOBBITCFG $TRAPCLIENT -C -s $3 -t $4 -d
"$1" -m "$5 ($2)" >> /var/log/trap.log

Now you should be able trace the trap's entire journey and see if the status
update sent to Xymon is being formatted correctly.
