Re: [nv-l] Not receiving traps from OEM

Well, if the OEM product were sending
traps to the Netview server, you would see them in /usr/OV/log/trapd.log
whether you had done any of that prep work or not. Those steps are all
about formatting them for viewing, not about receiving them. So you are
all set for when they do arrive.
Keep in mind, also, that while traps
can contain community strings, Netview does not pay any attention to them.
So don't configure your sending system to use anything secret, since it
may be viewed or logged. I like public for traps.
There are tons of answers on this subject
in the archives of this listserver, mostly from James Shanks. Check this
site for good advice:
http://lists.skills-1st.co.uk/mharc/html/nv-l/
This is not my area of expertise, but
I am up late tonight, so here's a thought: The traps are received by the
trapd daemon. Check the daemon configuration in serversetup to verify the
port it is listening on, then check with your sending system to see what
port they are sending to.
As for the mib browser response, that
indicates that the server you are querying is not running an SNMP agent,
or subagent, that is capable of answering questions under the Oracle
enterprise, although it would seem that the base OS snmp agent is running,
and can aswer with that information at least. That does not mean that the
system is not capable of sending traps, only that it cannot answer questions.
But I would sure look into that on the OEM server.

| [nv-l] Not receiving traps
from OEM |
|
Hello All,
Our DBAs are
trying to send traps from the OEM product to NetView. I've loaded the MIBs
with the Web Console MIB Loader, run mib2trap and executed the script.
All appeared to work well. I've also verified our community name in the
product configuration and snmpd.conf.
Needless
to say, no traps are arriving. Using the Web Console MIB Browser, I can
query the base MIB. However, the enterprise.oracle section returns "Not
Supported". I'd like to dig a little deeper into the "Not Supported"
response and also see if the traps are actually being sent. I don't see
anything in trapd.log to indicate that they are. Have I forgotten something?
Can someone suggest the next step in sorting this out?
Thanks.
