SNMP Traps

[Giles Coochey]

Hi,

 

Nagios 2.9

 

I'm looking at the document to handle SNMP traps which I found here:

 

http://www.samag.com/documents/s=9559/sam0503g/

 

I've got all the SNMP parts configured and I think I won't have problems
doing the external command part.

 

The Nagios configuration is, however, giving me some grief; this is my
first use of passive checks however, so maybe I'm being plain stupid. I
found an earlier thread which assisted me with some errors, but the
pre-flight-check now returns:

Reading configuration data...

 

Error: Invalid max_attempts, check_interval, retry_interval, or
notification_interval value for service 'TRAP-CRITICAL' on host
'32Red-VPN'

Error: Could not register service (config file
'/opt/nagios/etc/generic.cfg', starting on line 942)

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid

     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a
previous

     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some
variables/definitions

     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to
read

     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the

     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

 

 

I don't believe I have a max_attempts at all (anywhere in the file),
check_interval / retry_interval is presumably either
normal_check_interval or retry_check_interval.

 

Can anyone see where I've gone wrong?
