So, I tinkered a little more with this, and I figured out that there's something weird with the way that the 'manage' plugin works and it was causing grief with snmptt.

I had 'manage' installed but disabled and that seems to have caused the issue. the second I un-installed it SNMPTT started working.

Is there any way to change the default columns that show in the traps list.

The default columns are: Description, EventName, HostName, Severity, Trap Time and Format Line.

Is there a way to change these columns by default instead of having to change it each time I reload the page?

lints, columns order, sort, and column view are auto stored in cookies/php_variables and restored after every page reload (F5) and even browser reopen.

recommended change for alphabetical tree view

Post by computer_guru »

FYI, for alphabetical tree view. In file "lib/snmptt_ext_functions.php"

change line 39 as follows:

*****Before*******
$tree_lists = db_fetch_assoc("SELECT * FROM plugin_snmptt_tree order by device_type_name, agentip, eventname ");

*****After*****
$tree_lists = db_fetch_assoc("SELECT * FROM plugin_snmptt_tree order by hostname, agentip, eventname ");

This give me a much more usable tree view.

what?

Post by computer_guru »

gthe said, "I am recheck rules and it work good. The problem (may be) - сorrect rule creating. So, at all who has problems with rules, - spread sql line with a trap and rule here (or at PM). "

what does this part mean, "spread sql line with a trap and rule here (or at PM). " ??

Can you post another screen shot of a functioning rule that works by keyword instead of event and for multiple hosts instead of a single host?

Make rules work!!

Post by computer_guru »

If your alerts / rules are not emailing you from SNMPTT then try replacing the file lib/snmptt_functions.php with the one attached to this post.

Thats mean: Post you sql row for trap and rule, like radiumfu in some posts ago.
computer_guru wrote: Also I think it is very strange that I can't double click on a trap and see the complete information in a popup window. It seems like a very simple feature that would have been incorporated in the first version. Can I make a request for that to be added in the next version?
Done.

Thanks for all the hard work on this plugin!

Just installed 1.0.1rc and getting an error on the progress bar when adding a rule:

HTTP is complaining about a wrong path

File does not exist: /var/www/html/plugins/resources, referer: https://x.x.x.x/plugins/snmptt/css/xtheme-slate.css

Looked in xthem-slate.css and did find an error:

/* Progress Bar */

.x-progress-bar{
background:#9CBFEE url( ../../resources/images/slate/progress/progress-bg.gif ) repeat-x left center;
border-top:1px solid #ddd;
border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;
}

I changed (../../resources/images/slat/progress/progress-bg.gif) to (../images/slate/progress/progress-bg.gif) but still not working...any other ideas...

Add Unknown Trap to Traps Section

Post by westside »

It would be nice to have a button to force traps from the unknown section into the TRAPS section, if that would be possible, or at least be able to email alert from the unknown traps section.

I agree

Post by computer_guru »

I agree with westside. Sometimes MIB support can leave something to be desired. Being able to get alerts on unknown traps is an important feature. Being able to move them would be an added perk.

I need time to work with it.

Cacti plugin can't do it. It is possible only for snmptt program.

More Tips and a Tutorial

Post by computer_guru »

Changing the Unknown MySQL table in Snmptt.ini to the regular traps table solved the problem with unknown traps. I believe that alerting on unknown traps is working now.

A college of mine did mention that it would be nice for the TrapOid column from MySQL to be included in the alert emails. Maybe a more appropriate solution would be for the snmptt options screen in cacti to include some email options. Like what columns to include in an email.


FYI, I have also created a CactiEZ / SNMPTT tutorial:

First of all I need to say thank for great work.

I've just installed fresh install of snmptt plugin for cacti + snmptt perl script and snmptrapd on my Debian etch server. Almost everything seams to work fine except adding new rules in SNMPTT. As soon as I press on the 'Save' button in 'Add new rule' window it displays 'Processing...' info window and freezes the whole SNMPTT tab. I then need to go to Console or Graphs tab and then go back to SNMPTT. Ofcourse nothing is being saved...

Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?

ps.
- no errors in apache2 logs
- no errors in cacti.log
- no errors in mysql.log
