Test SNMP traps on SolarWinds by sending trap from a CentOS box

Question

How can I generate a test trap with a CentOS box to send to a remote monitoring box?

Answer 1

You can use snmptrap - see http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/commands/snmptrap.html for more details.

Answer 2

Restart the snmpd service, service snmpd restart. That should send agent shutdown/start traps.
