I
checked the snmp and snmptrap service security - all ok. The
machine has a static address.
The
machine is a vmware image, but it's connectivity seems ok - TMR and TEC and
happy from the host and other hosts on my network.
In the
end I figured something dum was happening so I re-installed NV - it was a
totally vanilla install to start with & it's working fine now (as it
previously did)! Of course my generated nvsnmptrap call wasn't quite
right, but that is what I was testing.....;-)
In
general I think the comments are correct though - it was connectivity of some
sort going wrong - I've seen strange effects when ip addresses have changed
underneath me & this was similar. If it happens again I'll start
there.
Many
thanks..

Are you using
DHCP and you got a different IP address at reboot? And did you permit
the "old" ip address to send traps in the security tab for the Windows snmp
service?

Subject: [nv-l] nvsnmptrap not
working
|
Hi
list, Bit of an odd one.... I'm testing a problem on Win2k
and NV 7.1.4 - it's just some updates to the .cds file.
I've already made my changes and they worked ok - nvsnmptrap sends trap
to the NV events list & they go on to TEC - a little script I have
contains a test of each trap & running that shows they all went through
ok. No problem - left it for a day & a reboot later & now traps
don't work!
To qualify that - my nvsnmptrap calls run, have no
output but nothing appears in the Netview events list or trapd.log. I've
switched tracing on (trapd -t c:\temp\trapd-trace.log), the trace file says
nothing too - apart from that it's starting. Internal traps are coming through, no problem! The odd thing is
that I can still see the traps I sent previously in the events list so I know
I'm not going completely mad. I've checked that the traps are all
defined as Status Events & not Log only, but either way they should appear
in the trapd.log/trace files??? Below is the nvsnmptrap call
I'm using.
nvsnmptrap 192.168.1.51 1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.3
10.10.11.51 6 2 1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.3.5 OctetString "Test string"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.3764.3.16.3.1.19 Integer 9999 As a
possibly related aside, I changed the nvsnmptrap call to be snmptrap and ran
it on my Linux machine & it worked fine - well, I got unknown formatted
trap because I didn't load the trap definitions, but trapd.log on linux shows
that it was my correct trap coming in... Any
pointers appreciated - have I pressed some magic "switch off my traps" button
? Ta in advance K
