Hoping there is someone here who has had a successful setup to trap SNMP messages from the log4j framework using log4j-snmp-trap-appender ( http://code.google.com/p/log4j-snmp-trap-appender/ )
I've followed the instructions on the wiki page "Configuring HQ as an SNMP Trap Receiver" ( http://support.hyperic.com/display/DOC/Configuring+HQ+as+an+SNMP+Trap+Receiver )
Below is the error that is captured in the Agent log.
I guess the obvious questions are :-
1. When configuring the 'New Platform' what should the FQDN be ? There is no physical device but an application using the log4j Framework to send SNMP traps.
2. How about the "IP Address". Same as above since there is no phyical device with a name or IP address.
3.. When configuring the platform, what should the snmpip and snmpPort be ?
Thanking in advance.
