Management

Managing the component

The command to start, stop and restart the component is:

$ sudo /opt/opsview/watchdog/bin/opsview-monit <start|stop|restart> opsview-snmptrapscollector

The component logs in the syslog like all other components. Note that you may see errors in syslog regarding No such file or directory: "/opt/opsview/snmptrapscollector/var/conf/snmptraps.cfg" until the first SNMP Trap rule is associated with a host and a Reload is performed.
