SMS Trace and the SNMP Trap Receiver Log File (158646)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q158646

SYMPTOMS

The Systems Management Server Trace utility does not correctly display the information in the Trapfltr.log file. Trapfltr.log does not follow the standard syntax conventions for the Systems Management Server logs. As a result, the Systems Management Server Trace utility may discard or improperly display log file information.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use a text editor such as Notepad to open the Trapfltr.log file. Note that Notepad only reads the log file once, upon opening. In order to see updates, the file must be closed and reopened.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
