Withdraw of the 6.9.2 Release

Unfortunately, due to critical issues identified with version 6.9.2, we have decided to remove it and ensure it's no longer available for download. These issues impacted the ability to install or upgrade but none were security-related. We are diligently working to resolve these issues and are planning to release an updated version 6.9.3 in early May.

What if you've already upgraded?

For customers who have already upgraded to 6.9.2, no immediate action is required, as none of these issues are security-related. Once it's available, you will still be able to upgrade to 6.9.3 as normal. We appreciate your patience and trust as we continue to enhance our software to better serve you. Thank you for your understanding.

SNMP Traps Collector

SNMP Traps Collector will:

• Wait on the /opt/opsview/snmptraps/var/run/snmp FIFO and once a trap is received, it reads it and processes it via the traps processing library available with opsview-snmptraps-base.
• Process a trap by either sending a result to the results forwarder FIFO, or send an exception to the snmp-traps-exception-queue.
• Manage the starting and stopping of traces set on a host, running the trace for the given duration in minutes or hours (up to a maximum of 48 hours).
• Read messages from the snmptrace-request-<machine-ref> queue and sends messages to the orchestrator-queue and snmp-traps-exception-queue.

Dependencies Copied

• The package requires opsview-datastore to be installed on the collector so that it can create trace documents.
• The package requires access to the opsview-messagequeue to send traces and exceptions to the result-snmp.
• The package requires access to the opsview-messagequeue to receive trace request message from the orchestrator.

Installation Copied

This is deployed when installing Opsview Monitor.

See MIBs for SNMP Traps and Gets to add MIBs that are required for translating SNMP Traps.

Managing the component Copied

The command to start, stop and restart the component is:

$ sudo /opt/opsview/watchdog/bin/opsview-monit <start|stop|restart> opsview-snmptrapscollector

The component logs to syslog like all other components. Note that you may see errors in syslog regarding No such file or directory: "/opt/opsview/snmptrapscollector/var/conf/snmptraps.cfg" until the first SNMP Trap rule is associated with a host and Apply Changes is performed.
