SMS: Unable To Generate Traps For Dr. Watson Events (179565)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q179565 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Systems Management Server SNMP Trap Translator to monitor
Dr. Watson traps, the Windows NT Application Event Log may fill up with
error message 3006 events. This causes the Windows NT Application Event Log
to fill up and overwrite older data.
CAUSE
An application on the server stops responding, which causes a Dr. Watson
message to be written to the event log. The data portion of this Dr. Watson
Event Log message is very large. The SNMP Event Log Extension Agent
(SNMPELEA) tries to read the message to determine whether the message is
something that it should be trapping on. Because SNMPELEA does not provide
a buffer large enough to hold the Dr. Watson Event Log message, it
generates an error 3006.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service
pack for Systems Management Server version 1.2. For information on
