[SOLVED] SNMP Traps notifications stopped in nagios xi

I have a Problem with SNMP Traps notification in Nagios xi. First when I used the below configuration in snmptt.conf file I used to get notifications but those notifications were created on some other host instead of the actual host

Quote:

EVENT NotificationServiceAlert .x.x.x.x.xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxx.xx. "Status Events" CRITICAL
FORMAT The Notification Service generated an Alert Notification Message. $*
EXEC /usr/local/bin/snmptraphandling.py "$r" "SNMP Traps" "$s" "$@" "$-*" "Notification Service Alert message=$10 "
SDESC
The Notification Service generated an Alert Notification Message
Variables:
1: AlertDate
2: AlertTime
3: AlertTagField
4: FacilityName
5: HostName
6: ProcessName
7: AlertID
8: AlertName
9: AlertPriority
10:lertMessage
EDESC

Then I changed the snmptt.conf to this configuration but I stopped getting alerts in Nagios completely

Quote:

MIB: NOTIFICATION-SERVICE-ALERT-MIB converted using snmpttconvertmib v1.3

EVENT NotificationServiceAlert .x.x.xxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "Status Events" Normal

If you had an issue and resolved it as suggested by having marked this "Solved" can you re-edit your original post to show the issue then post your solution? That will help others in future who may have the same issue solve it more quickly.

That is because I changed this:

EXEC /usr/local/bin/snmptraphandling.py "$r" "SNMP Traps" "$s" "$@" "$-*" "Notification Service Alert message=$10 "
The hostname in Xi is not matching the hostname I am giving as an input to the snmptraphandling.py. Hostname in Xi is case sensitive

Hey there.
I'm John Jones also and I believe there's one more around here as well.

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Just saying "hey".
