How to configure trap message?

Trap Protocol Data Unit Information and Varbinds


Important: To specify Trap PDU information for Trap Parser fields, use the dollar ($) notation. For Event Parsers and Event Filters, use percentage (%) notation instead of dollar ($). The @ notation remains the same for all the three configurations.

    Field

    Description

    $Agent

    SNMP V1 Traps

     

    If the device corresponding to the agent address returned by the trap has been discovered by the NOC server, this token fetches the name of the parent managed object (MO) corresponding to the interface object matching the agent address of the trap received.

     

    If the device corresponding to the agent address of the trap has not been discovered, this token returns the corresponding IP address of the agent address from which the trap has been received.

     

    For example, a trap is received from an agent and the corresponding device has been discovered by the NOC server with the interface object of IF-webserver and the name of the parent managed object is webserver. In this scenario, %Agent returns webserver. If the device is not yet discovered, %Agent returns the IP address, such as 192.168.1.30.

     

    SNMP V2C & V3 Traps

     

    If the device corresponding to the source address contained by the received trap has already been discovered by the NOC server, this token fetches the name of the parent MO that corresponds to the interface object matching the source address of the received trap. If the device corresponding to the source address of the trap has not been discovered, this token returns the IP address of the source of the trap.

    $Community

    This token is replaced by the community string of the received trap.

    $Enterprise

    This token is replaced by the enterprise ID of the received trap. This token is applicable to SNMP traps only, for non-SNMP traps it is replaced with ““.

    $GenericType

    This token is replaced by the generic type of the received trap. This token is applicable to SNMP V1 traps only. For non-SNMP traps, it is replaced with ““.

    $Source

    If the device corresponding to the source address contained by the received trap has been discovered by the NOC server, this token fetches the name of the parent MO that corresponds to the interface object matching the source address of the received trap. If the device corresponding to the source address of the received trap has not been discovered, the corresponding IP address of the source address is returned.

    $SpecificType

    This token is replaced by the specific type of the received trap and is applicable to SNMP v1 traps only. For non-SNMP traps, it is replaced with ““.

    $Uptime

    This token is replaced by the up-time value in the received trap.

    $TrapOID

    This token is replaced by the trap OID of the received trap. This token is applicable to SNMP V2C traps only. For non-SNMP traps, it is replaced with ““.

    $*

    This token is replaced by all the varbinds ie variable bindings (both OID and variable values) of the received trap.

     

    Example: For the following varbinds, 2.2.1.1.221 INTEGER 30 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 STRING abc 2.2.1.1.1 INTEGER 10The result is ifIndex: 30, sysDescr: abc, ifIndex: 10

    $#

    This token is replaced by all the variable binding values (only variable values and not OIDs) of the received trap.

     

    Example: For the following varbinds,2.2.1.1.221 INTEGER 30 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 STRING abc 2.2.1.1.1 INTEGER 10

     

    The result is 30, abc, 10

    $N

    For this token, N is a non-negative integer. This token is replaced by the (N+1)th SNMP variable value in the variable bindings of the received trap. The Index N starts from 0.

     

    Example: For the following varbinds, 2.2.1.1.221 INTEGER 30 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 STRING abc 2.2.1.1.1 INTEGER 10

     

    For %1, the result is abc

    @*

    This token is replaced by all the OID labels in the variable bindings of the received trap.

     

    Example: For the following varbinds,2.2.1.1.221 INTEGER 30 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 STRING abc 2.2.1.1.1 INTEGER 10

     

    The result is ifIndex: sysDescr: ifIndex

    @N

    This token is replaced by the (N+1)th OID value in the variable bindings of the received trap. The index count starts from 0.This token is replaced by the (N+1)th OID label in the variable bindings of the received trap. The index starts from 0.

     

    Example: For the following varbinds,2.2.1.1.221 INTEGER 30 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1 STRING abc 2.2.1.1.1 INTEGER 10

     

    For @1, the result is sysDescr

    $IP-Source

    This token is replaced by the IP address corresponding to the source address of the received trap.

    $IP-Agent

    This token is replaced by the IP address corresponding to the agent address of the received trap.

    Special Purpose Tokens

    Note: The associated Managed object should have been discovered already by Web NMS for using the following special purpose tags (or tokens). This is applicable to all special purpose tags (or tokens) enumerated in this section.

    $AgentMO

    This token enables access to managed object properties. The tag can be used to access any properties of the parent managed object for the interface object corresponding to the agent address of the received trap. (Fetching the MO is similar to the $Agent tag mechanism). For example, if you want to access the pollInterval property of the parent MO that corresponds to the agent address of the received trap and assign it to some property of the generated Event object, you must specify the tag as $AgentMO(pollInterval) against the specific property of the event.

     

    Usage: $AgentMO(PropertyName)

    $IF-AgentMO

    This token is similar to $AgentMO, except that the properties of the interface MO that corresponds to the agent address of the received trap can be accessed using this tag. In the case of SNMP V2C traps, it is exactly the same as $IF-SourceMO.

     

    Usage: $IF-AgentMO(PropertyName)

    $IF-Agent

    This token is similar to $Agent, except that it results in the interface MO name that corresponds to the agent address of the trap received. In the case of SNMP V2C traps, it is exactly the same as $IF-Source.

     

    Usage: $IF-Agent

    $SourceMO

    This token can be used to access any properties of the parent MO for the interface object that corresponds to the source address of the received trap. (Fetching the MO is similar to the $Source tag). For example, if you want to access the pollInterval property of the parent managed object corresponding to the source address of the received trap and assign it to some property of the event, you must specify the tag as $SourceMO(pollInterval) against the specific property of the event.

     

    Usage: $SourceMO(PropertyName)

    $IF-SourceMO

    This token is similar to $SourceMO, except that the properties of the interface MO that corresponds to the source address of the received trap can be accessed using this tag.

     

    Usage: $IF-SourceMO(PropertyName)

    $IF-Source

    This token is similar to $Source, except that it results in the interface object name that corresponds to the source address of the received trap.

     

    Usage: $IF-Source
