Can anyone here give me a hand with forwarding snmp traps? I'm looking at
Zenoss and I
want to see how it handles snmp traps. We currently have snmp traps getting sent
to two
servers. One of them is basically ignoring the traps, but I can't just
change the ip address (to
give to Zenoss) because of other things the host is doing.
So instead I'd like to simply forward the snmp traps to the new zenoss
system. I've tried a
couple different forwarding programs, like jredirect and a python script I found
while
searching. I use jredirect to forward some other things, but I'm guessing it
doesn't like udp.
I've also tried figuring out snmptrapd and snmpd without any success at all.
Last, I tried simply using iptables with something like:
# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 162 -j DNAT
--to-destination
192.168.1.3:162
# iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m udp --dport 162 -j ACCEPT
But that doesn't seem to work either.
I can see running wireshark on both systems that the old server is receiving
traps, but they
are never getting forwarded to the zenoss system.
Anyone here know how to do it? Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
James
