Hi
As per the documentation given in Splunk "http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Data/SendSNMPeventstoSplunk",
I have snmp trap listener running.
But not sure where the log file is stored on the unix box.

Should I only run the below command as root, If I use port udp162?
snmptrapd -Lf /var/log/snmp-traps --disableAuthorization=yes
