Using Detailed Logging to Debug SNMP Issues

• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

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.
