Issue/Introduction

The UIM snmpgtw probe was working fine and then after a restart stopped sending traps.

The log has:
Jul  7 13:38:11:496 snmpgtw: RREPLY: status=not found(4) <-10.XX.XX.XXX/48002  h=37 d=0
Jul  7 13:38:11:496 snmpgtw: attach failed 4(not found), trying subscribe.

Jul  9 10:56:49:435 snmpgtw: disconnected from hub
 

Environment

Release:
Component: UIMSGW

Cause

The message 'attach failed 4(not found), trying subscribe.' indicates the probe failed to create and attach to its queue. 

Resolution

To help ensure the probe always connects to its queue a permanent queue can be created. 
Open the hub configure GUI 
Queues tab > New 
Name = snmpgtw
Type = attach 
Subject = alarm

It is recommended to use the latest robot and hub updates. 

Additional Information

By default the snmpgtw probe will create a temp queue each time it is activated. The queue name will be t_<next available number>. 

If a queue is created with the name snmpgtw, the probe will use that rather than creating a temp queue.
