Trap adapter configuration file: trapd.conf
The trapd.conf file, by default located in the BASEDIR/smarts/conf/trapd directory
of all
VMware Smart Assurance
product installations, is a global configuration
file used to configure most VMware Smart Assurance
built-in trap receivers and most trap adapters (sm_trapd). Only the PORT parameter in this file is applicable to built-in trap receivers because the built-in
trap receivers are configured to receive and parse traps, but not to forward traps. The other parameters in the file are applicable for configuring trap adapters to forward traps.The built-in trap
receiver for is not controlled by the trapd.conf file. The only user-configurable control for the built-in trap receiver is the
“TrapPort = 9001”
parameter line in the voip.conf file.
Configuration directory for an SNMP Trap Adapter configured as a trap exploder shows the
configuration directory and the trapd.conf file for the
SNMP Trap Adapter
configured as a trap exploder. (The configuration directory
is in the installation area.) A trapd.conf file in the
local area, created using the sm_edit utility, takes precedence over the original file
containing the installed defaults. A seedfile is required only if the trap exploder is to
process SNMPv3 traps.Configuration directory for an SNMP
