Handling the temporary file

The temporary file to pass traps from the trap daemon to Zabbix is placed in /tmp by default. This is not the best practice for a production setup, so I suggest you change it once you are satisfied with the initial testing.

Note that the temporary file can grow indefinitely—Zabbix only reads data from it, and never rotates or removes the file. Rotation should be set up separately, probably with the logrotate daemon.
