5.1.3.2.1.2. SNMP Traps

For troubleshooting the SNMP traps we need to check the following:

5.1.3.2.1.2.1. Switch

Check that the SNMP packets have been generated by the switch:

debug snmp packets
show debbuging
terminal monitor

Connect and disconnect a device to switch port and check the switch console.

5.1.3.2.1.2.2. ON Core

Using tcpdump command, check if the SNMP traps have been received by the ON Core.

tcpdump -i eth0 port 162

Check if the SNMP trap service is up and running.

service snmptrapd status

If is not running start it.

service snmptrapd start

Go to /var/log/messages, check if the log file has been written, and check the timestamp of SNMP trap log

tail -f /var/log/messages | grep snmptrapd

Check if the gearmand queues service is up and running.

service gearmand status

If is not running start it.

service gearmand start

Go to /var/log/opennac, check if the opennac-job.log file has been written.

tail -f /var/log/opennac/opennac-job.log | grep -i snmp

Go to /var/log/opennac-poleval.log and check if the OpenNAC Enterprise poleval events file has been written with a SNMPMacUp or SNMPMacDown.

tail -f /var/log/opennac/opennac-poleval.log

Go to /var/log/httpd/opennac-*_log and check if OpenNAC Enterprise http/https events file has been written.

<MAC ADDRESS> identify the physical address, verify the response http code, you can verify some API error like database issue or similar.

tail -f /var/log/httpd/opennac-*_log | grep -i <MAC ADDRESS>

On the Web Administration Console, go to ON NAC -> Business Profiles and in the list, verify the mac address

The log that contains the information printed in the Analytics > Discover option is collected in the file opennac-analytics.log. You can check this log executing the following command in the ON Core CLI:

tail -f /var/log/opennac/opennac-analytics.log
