After that, we check the box Process trap and then click the Upload MIB button. Then click the Browse button to find the MIB to be added. We can do this via Admin > System Extensions > Manage MIBs. If the remote device we are sending traps from has a MIB file then we can upload this MIB file to configure SNMPTT on the Nagios XI server to understand these incoming traps. Also, this is how we can define custom/complex trap definitions. In a case where either no MIB exists, or the existing MIB does not define a required trap, we can define the trap in the etc/snmp/nf file. We can create it from a MIB we upload to Nagios XI. We can create the trap definitions in the following ways Unconfigured Objects are handled with the SNMP Trap Wizard. If the incoming trap does not match an incoming definition, the trap is sent to the Unknown Trap Log. Notifications/Event Handlers (or both) occur.Ĥ. If the incoming trap matches an incoming definition, it passes the trap to Nagios XI, where the trap receives standard Nagios treatment:ģ. The SNMPTT checks the incoming traps against existing trap definitions. SNMPTT is one that is responsible for processing the received traps and decides if they should be sent to Nagios XI. More about SNMP Trap Translator (SNMPTT) ? Nagios XI is automatically configured with a firewall rule to allow UDP port 162 inbounds, there is no additional configuration required on the Nagios XI server. However, we need to make a note that Nagios XI is the server (rather than the client) for SNMP traps, so the packet flow is inbound to the Nagios XI machine. Here we need to allow UDP port 162 traffic from remote devices to the Nagios XI server. We would first need to configure any intermediary firewalls between the Nagios XI server and the remote device to allow inbound SNMP traps to be sent to Nagios XI before we can configure remote devices to send SNMP traps to Nagios XI.
In case, if you have an Enterprise edition license then we recommend using NXTI. Also, it provides an easier way of configuring and managing traps through the Nagios XI web interface. It is enabled with the Enterprise edition license of Nagios XI.
Getting started with Nagios XI Trap Interface (NXTI). Here, we will configure Nagios XI to receive and process SNMP traps from external devices.
How to integrate SNMP traps with Nagios ? In this context, we shall look into how to integrate SNMP traps with Nagios. Here at Ibmi Media, as part of our Server Management Services, here at Ibmi Media, We regularly help to perform Nagios-related queries. SNMP is an “agentless” method of monitoring network devices and servers, and is often preferable to installing dedicated agents on target machines. Nagios provides complete monitoring of SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). Are you trying to integrate SNMP traps with Nagios?
