Thank you so much Risto for your help. Right now the VM, were I installed zenoss is in servicing stage. May be that is the reason for warning. Will get back to you if I face any more problems.

If an external program is specified with a relative path, then SEC checks for it from the current directory and produces a warning, if program is not found. However, it is not an error if the PATH environment variable gets set correctly at runtime and the program is actually found. If you want to suppress this non-critical warning, however, please specify snmptrap with full path. kind regards, risto > > > Regards, > Waseem > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Risto Vaarandi [mailto:risto.vaara...@seb.ee] > Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 3:27 PM > To: simple-evcorr-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Simple-evcorr-users] How to generate OID and make SEC to > communicate with zenoss. > > hi Waseem, > please write the 'action' field of the rule as: > > action=shellcmd snmptrap -v 2c -c public ZenossIP "" ucdStart OID s "SEC > Alert to ZenOSS" > > and see if it works (each SEC action must begin with a keyword that > specifies the action type).
