NAME
snmptraplogd - Receive and log snmp trap messages.
SYNOPSIS
snmptraplogd [ -v 1 ] [ -s ] [-f cfgfile]
DESCRIPTION
Snmptraplogd is an SNMP application that receives and logs snmp trap messages sent to the SNMP-TRAP port (162) on the local machine. The output of the daemon may be specified via a configuration file.
The option -v 1 should be specified to receive and log V1 traps (eg. sent by snmptrap(1) ).
Remark: this option is a dummy. V1 traps are the default.
The option -s is completely ignored!
Adding a "-d" to the argument list will cause the application to dump input and output packets.
If the option -f cfgfile is given, the output of the daemon is configured via the mentioned configuration file. If this option is not specified, a default output format is used.
The syntax of the configuration file is explained in /usr/doc/snmptraplogd/snmptrapdlog.conf !
Snmptraplogd must be run as root so that UDP port 162 can be opened.
