SUMMARY

You can obtain detailed SNMP debug information on Windows NT systems without attaching a debugger by using the checked build of SNMP.EXE.

MORE INFORMATION

Use the following steps to log detailed debug information to a log file (SNMPDBG.LOG) in the %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32 subdirectory, or to the system event log.

  1. Change to the %SYSTEMROOT\SYSTEM32 subdirectory.

  2. Rename the SNMP.EXE file in your %SYSTEMROOT\SYSTEM32 subdirectory to SNMP.FRE.

  3. Copy the checked SNMP.EXE file to your %SYSTEMROOT\SYSTEM32 subdirectory.

  4. From a command prompt, type the following: 

          NET START SNMP /loglevel:20/logtype:7

    Debug information will be written to %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\SNMPDBG.LOG, and to the system event log.

  5. You can adjust the output detail by lowering the /loglevel and /logtype options to lower numbers.

Sample Output Using /loglevel:20 /logtype:7
