SNMP Trap console doesn’t work and log says: “couldn’t open udp:162”

This happens because the system SNMPtrapd daemon has booted before the Pandora FMS ‘SNMPtrapd‘ daemon, and has the port blocked (in use). This fix is intended for OpenSUSE systems

  • Stop the system daemon:
# /etc/init.d/snmpd stop

(This could yield different results in systems that are not on OpenSUSE).

Then restart Pandora FMS server:

# /etc/init.d/pandora_server restart

This is very useful to delay the system’s SNMP startup after the Pandora FMS server has started in order to avoid this conflict in the future.
