Hi All,<br>
<br>
I am trying to get snmptraps passed through to syslog-ng and then sent through an interpretor into Nagios. I have snmptrapd logging to syslog, and I have added the following lines to syslog-ng.conf:<br>
<br>
destination d_nagios { file("/tmp/test_file.txt"); };<br>
filter f_snmptrap { program("snmptrapd"); };<br>
log { source(s_sys); filter(f_snmptrap); destination(d_nagios); };<br>
<br>
sending it to the test_file was just to make sure I was actually catching the snmptrapd logs which I am not.<br>
<br>
I have tried a number of variations on the ("snmptrapd") such as ("snmptrapd\[.*\]") and none of them work.<br>
<br>
can anyone see where my logic has gone astray?<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
<br>

Depending on the version of snmptrapd / dist, you have to specify -Ls for it to use syslog... But what does source s_sys look like?<br>
<br>What about just removing the filter and dumping source s_sys straight to that temp file - just to make sure the messages are coming through that source and to double check the program name?<br>
<br>That's where I'd start anyway.<br><br>Ryan<br><br><br></div></div><br>
