I have nagios 1.2 up and running (and has been for awhile) on a
 fedora core2 server. I recently added the snmptt for snmp traps.
 The snmptt appears to be running correctly accordng to the logs
 being generated. The trap also apperas in the nagios.log file.
 The question and or questions i have is I never get an alert an
 the passive check aalways says pending. enclosed are the service
 check and an entry from the logs 



passive check 

define service{ 

use generic-service ; Name of service template to use 



host_name device_name 

service_description TRAP 

is_volatile 1 

check_command check-host-alive 

check_period 24x7 

max_check_attempts 1 

normal_check_interval 1 

retry_check_interval 1 

passive_checks_enabled 1 

check_period none 

notification_interval 31536000 # equals a year 

notification_period 24x7 

notification_options w,u,c,r 

notifications_enabled 1 

contact_groups linux-admins 

} 



snmptt log entry

entry from nagios.log

RAP;0;Device reinitialized (coldStart) 

[1133792757] Warning: Message queue contained results for service
 'TRAP' on host 'system_name'. The service could not be found! 



The pieces to make this work seem to be in place but im just missing
 something. If im amissing any thing please let me know
