Use this Knowledge Script to send an extended SNMP trap message with AppManager event information to a specified list of computers. The event information includes the event severity level.
Each computer you specify must be able to receive SNMP trap messages on UDP port 162.
If you do not specify a value for any of the parameters, this Knowledge Script uses the corresponding value found in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software: NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQmc\SNMPTRAP\Config.
For example, if you do not specify an object identifier in the OID field, the Knowledge Script checks the registry for the OID key entry: OID: REG_SZ: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1691.1.
When associating the ExtendedSNMPTrap Knowledge Script with a monitoring job, carefully choose the location of the action. Location options are available on the Action tab of the Properties dialog box
When Location = MC, the trap will not include fields for Event Identifier, Repository Name, and Repository Server, because this information is not available on the AppManager agent.
When Location = MS or Location = proxy, the trap will include fields for Event Identifier, Repository Name, and Repository Server. However, if many jobs are configured to send traps with the management server, performance on the management server computer may be adversely affected.
Set the following parameters as needed:
|
Parameter |
How to Set It |
|---|---|
|
List of computers to receive SNMP message |
Provide the name of the computer to receive the SNMP trap message. The receiving port is port 162. To specify multiple recipients, separate computer names with commas and no spaces. For example, Nancy01,Finance03 If this field is left blank, the local host is the recipient by default. |
|
Community string |
Provide a valid SNMP community string. Leave this parameter blank to use the SNMP community string entered in AppManager Security Manager. If no SNMP community string is entered in Security Manager, the “public” SNMP community string is used by default. |
|
Object identifier |
Enter an object identifier in OID notation (for example, 1.2.3.456.78). If no value is entered, this script uses the OID notation entered in the following registry key: SOFTWARE\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQmc\SNMPTRAP\Config |
|
Specific trap number |
Enter a trap number. The trap number can be specific to your application. If no value is entered, this script uses the trap number entered in the following registry key: SOFTWARE\NetIQ\AppManager\4.0\NetIQmc\SNMPTRAP\Config |
