When I'm trying to figure out what varbinds an agent is sending, I
just configure the trap format with '$*' so it will show however many
there actually are, right in the events display. This gets me by
Netview's insistance that I guess correctly about the number. Once
I know what the number is, I change the format to just show the
bindings I want.
I suspect that you are investigating a different problem, though.
If you tell us what it is, maybe someone can help.
Cordially,

There is a trace function in trapd, which will show you the contents of
each trap received in hexadecimal. The parts that are ASCII characters
are shown also in an "eyecatcher" which is also printed with the trace. If
you want to understand the complete hexadecimal output, you would have to
get a book on SNMP formats and decode that trap. Otherwise you could
call Support and have them do it for you, if you require proof that trapd
is telling the truth about what he got.
If that's what you want to do, use serversetup to configure trapd to hex
dump all packets. This causes him to run with the -x option. Then when
he is up and running and you want to capture something in the trace, you
type "trapd -T" to toggle the trace on. Typing "trapd -T from the command
line turns it off again. Unless you change it, the name of the trace file
will be /usr/OV/log/trapd.trace.
But if trapd says it only got one variable, the fact is that it only got
one variable. He's never been wrong about that before in the 6 years I
have been working on this product. That's all your agent sent.
