SNMP Traps not Captured

I'm having a similar problem to a recent post which also has not been solved (at this time). I've installed SNMP Modular input and configured as described on it's Splunk Apps page but it's not indexing the incoming data. I have verified that the SNMP data is making it to my system via Netcat and Wireshark.

Is it necessary to provide MIBs in the SNMP inputs for Modular Input to work or will it not still index without any listed? I've left that configuration empty for the time being.

I running Ubuntu 14.4 and Splunk 6.1.

Thanks.

I removed all MIBS from snmp data input configuration and it started working. I'm not totally sure why this works but I think it's because the manufacturer of the device I'm monitoring has provided a MIB that is very poorly written. It's seems to be missing some key value pairs that I would think necessary.

Thanks Damien. I sent the Wireshark-captured trap.

Can you email me a wireshark capture of the traps that are not showing up in Splunk ? ddallimore@splunk.com
