invoke trap.alert from your slave like this: alert trap.alert -U mon-username -P trap-password 88.191.36.126 into your auth.cf place this: trap section a.b.c.d mon-username crypt-trap-password or hostname mon-username crypt-trap-password or * mon-username crypt-trap-password a "*" in the "hostname" column means allow traps from any host. a "*" in the "mon-username" column will tell mon there's no need to authenticate. if you bypass this authentication, you should at least specify a hostname or ip address in the "hostname" column so that mon will ignore traps from any hosts other than the ones listed in auth.cf. crypt-trap-password is the crypt(3) form of the password. you can use the "htpasswd" tool which comes with apache. like this: $ htpasswd -n mon-username New password: Re-type new password: xyz:e5zg1O8LmnpC. you would insert everything after the ":" into your auth.cf as shown above. mon will automatically pass some parameters needed by the trap.alert via environment variables, such as the name of the "group" and the service name. trap.alert will then do the right stuff to create the trap PDU and send it to the machine(s) you wish. in the above example it will send the trap to host 88.191.36.126. the recipient host will then try to apply the message to the group and service name found in the PDU. if either the group or service names in the pdu do not match a group and service in the mon.cf, then it will try to apply it to a group named "default" which has a service named "default". i guess that's just about it. i think all of the above is actually documented in the man page and in doc/README.traps, except for trap.alert, which is simple enough that its operation should be self-evident. however, there should be documentation on how to operate trap.alert. the doc/README.traps document is very close to this, but a bit out of date because it refers to "remote.alert" rather than trap.alert. i'll update it with explanations of all the trap.alert options.. you may also want to check out the "redistribute alert" option in the mon man page. _______________________________________________ mon mailing list mon@linux.kernel.org http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
