I created a few different .conf files use MIB packs from different vendors. Since these are not perfect and some re-include the standard RFC MIBS no doubt there are duplicates.

Is there a way for snmptt to find and avoid these duplicates itself?

from snmptt site:

Code: Select all

Q:  Each trap received is being logged multiple times. Why?

A:  There are a few possible reasons for this.

    * The device is sending the trap multiple times. If the device is running Net-SNMP's agent (snmpd), make sure there is only ONE trapsink, trap2sink or informsink line in snmpd.conf. If you are sending the trap using SNMP V1, use trapsink. For SNMP V2, use trap2sink. For SNMP V3, use informsink. Having both a trapsink and a trap2sink for example will cause snmpd to send the trap twice. Once using SNMP V1 and once using SNMP V2. It is possible that snmpd is loading multiple snmp.conf files. Start snmpd using snmpd -f -Dread_config to see what configuration files are being loaded.
    * Snmptrapd is passing the trap to SNMPTT multiple times. Ensure there is only one traphandle statement in snmptrapd.conf. It is possible that snmpdtrapd is loading multiple snmptrapd.conf files. Start snmpdtrapd using snmpd -f -Dread_config to see what configuration files are being loaded.
    * There is more than one EVENT line defined in one or more snmptt.conf files for the trap and multiple_event is enabled in snmptt.ini. To find all duplicate EVENT entries, run snmptt --dump

run snmptt --dump

Do you have new rows in mysqld_slow.log with new (0.1.22b) version ?

Hello,

Where can we get the db-scheme from "plugin_snmptt_statistics" table.
It's not included in the snmptt package nor in the plugin package.

Maybe ists the reason that the plugin doesnt work at our installation, because the table doesnt exist and will not be created with the plugin installation.

1 hint to them, having problems with dupplicate traps: Avoid the use of NetSNMP v5.3. We use v5.4 and after elemating all other causes for trap dupplication, mentioned at this forum thraeds, it should be gone.

steffenn, Can you post you's hostinfo ?

I love this plugin, it is working great!!

Just one note to the installation: you HAVE to create the tables for sql logging yourself, but it is very easy, just follow the steps http://snmptt.sourceforge.net/docs/snmp ... ngDatabase.

The manual there describes how to create an OWN database for snmptt, the first post in this thread is using the cacti database plus adding the required tables, so dont switch off your brain when doing the steps

Be careful: all table names must be changed to a leading "plugin_" when configuring your .ini according to the first post in this thread.

However I have a few questions myself:

Is there a way to limit the disk space of the logged traps in the database (syslog plugin does that I think) so old traps will be deleted accordingly?

The trap description under "formatline" is truncated. How can I have the full description of the trap there, as this is very useful?

Thanks
joez

steffenn, if you do uninstall / install and enable plugin is there any error ? May be in cacti.log ?

steffenn · Post by **steffenn** » Thu May 15, 2008 11:54 am

Hi gthe,

Its working now, i just forgot the plugin - enable at the new "Plugin Management" Tab (same problem as with the new management plugin) after clicking install from PA-v2.x. Im not yet so familar with the new plugin architecture and not so happy with this new GUI mouse clicking staff for plugin installation, also because can't keep installations unattended and scripted for this any more.

Its also working with having tables as DB-views (MySQL >5), because we want to use this frontend beside NagiosTrap Frontend, without the need for storing the traps at 2 databases twice.
Its a design issue for me as well: traps and syslogs does'nt belong to the cacti-DB, because they are can grow a lot and need extented long term maintanance as regular archiving and purging. Without this it could be very danger for cactis main functionality in longterm

By the way - have you got an idea for the lots of:
tail /var/log/apache2/error_log
[Thu May 15 17:36:59 2008] [error] [client 172.16.15.26] PHP Notice: Undefined index: alert in /usr/local/cacti/plugins/snmptt/snmptt_view.php on line 616
[Thu May 15 17:36:59 2008] [error] [client 172.16.15.26] PHP Notice: Undefined index: alert in /usr/local/cacti/plugins/snmptt/snmptt_view.php on line 616

and Thank you for your help in short response times to my questions

steffenn,
1. Plugin already has autopurge functions in settings to disallow snmptt tables grow.
2. You error because you installation is corupt. After installing plugin and open snmptt tab first time the AutoUpdate process will lanch (see my first post with screenshot).

Added new version:
--- 1.0.23b ---

Code: Select all

      - Added extjs interface. Speedup for big tables and new look ;

Screens in first post.

Looks great

in
include/snmptt_header_ext.php: you have

<iframe src="/cacti/plugins/snmptt/snmptt_view.php?report=extjs_main" frameborder="0"

Might break a few people

and

PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function json_encode() in /var/www/html/plugins/snmptt/js/state.get-state.php on line 9, referer: http://foo.com/plugins/snmptt/snmptt_vi ... extjs_main

You php don't have json module. Install it or update php to 5.2 or wait my fix (may be today).

eternal · Post by **eternal** » Thu Jul 10, 2008 8:50 am

Done.

--- 0.1.24b ---

- Fix path bug;
- Fix for php without json;
- For Arch 2.x issue need run sql:
update plugin_realms set file = 'snmptt_view.php,snmptt_db.php' where file like '%snmptt_view.php%'

eternal - This is Arch 2.x issue. Try this sql command:

Code: Select all

update plugin_realms set file = 'snmptt_view.php,snmptt_db.php' where `file` like '%snmptt_view.php%'
