snmptrapd unknown snmp version 193

I'm trying to capture SNMP traps using snmptrapd but don't seem to be receiving anything.

I installed snmptrapd and then modified the /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf file to have authCommunity log public and started the service with systemctl start snmptrapd.

Upon start my syslog has "unknown snmp version 193" printed to it but nothing else and when I send traps it doesn't seem to output anything or throw an error.

Have I missed something?

Solution

  • Couldn't find a reason for "unknown snmp version 193" but it seems you need to specify an output file as it won't do it by default.

    My snmptrapd.conf now looks like:

    authCommunity log public
[snmp] logOption f /var/log/snmp
