I have configured snmptrapd to log the traps to log file. the traps
received and logged ok based on the mib file definition.

there is only one problem.

the value of one of the variables seems to be truncated due to end of line
or some special char.

linux is centos 6.2
snmp software versions:
net-snmp-5.5-27.el6.x86_64
net-snmp-libs-5.5-27.el6.x86_64
net-snmp-utils-5.5-27.el6.x86_64
net-snmp-perl-5.5-27.el6.x86_64


*Trap definition from the MIB:*

EVENT fredFault .1.3.6.1.4.1.1383.1008.0.50 "Status Events"
This trap is sent if a device is not reachable using IP ping
Variables:
1: alarmId
Syntax="OCTETSTR"
Descr="OMC unique alarm id"
2: deviceName
Syntax="OCTETSTR"
Descr="Name of device"
3: deviceType
Syntax="INTEGER"
Descr="Type of device such as WEB, VAD, etc."
4: severity
Syntax="INTEGER"
Descr="severity of trap"
5: timeStamp
Syntax="OCTETSTR"
Descr="time that the trap was sent. YYYYMMDDHHMMSS"
6: description
Syntax="OCTETSTR"
Descr="short description of trap."
7: text
Syntax="OCTETSTR"
Descr="full description of trap."




*Below is the log from syslog file*

*Problem*

the variable 6: description seems to be truncated, as follows:

- values that supposed to appear is

ASU EVENT: Alarm already raised For App ID 4 and Event ID 110 (Confusion
message received for CIC: 29, DPC: 6-0-2)

- the value truncated and appeared at the log file

ASU EVENT: Alarm already raised For App ID 4 and Event ID 110 (Confusion
message received for CIC
