Systems running HP Insight Manager report continuous SNMP spurious entries in the Messages log

Continuous SNMP spurious messages ucd-snmp: Connection from 127.0.0.1 are reported to the /var/log/messages log file.

These messages are benign and can be ignored.

Adjust the message severity associated with specific hosts. To do this:

Log into the ESX Server service console as root.
Edit the following file:

/etc/hosts.allow
Add the following lines:

# Silence the endless "ucd-snmp: Connection from 127.0.0.1" messages # generated by some management agents. The usual severity is "info". snmpd: 127.0.0.1: severity debug

This sets the severity to debug and makes the SNMP spurious messages disappear.

For more information, see the hosts_options(5) and hosts_access(5) man pages.
