SNMP Trap Messages Received by the Trap Receiver Software
Alerts can be sent by a CommServe, using the SNMP protocol, to other computers in the form of SNMP Enablers, provided that the SNMP Enabler software is installed on the CommServe computer and SNMP was selected as the alert notification type. For information on installing the SNMP Enabler on the CommServe computer in clustered and non-clustered environments, see:
An SNMP trap is used for alert notification sent by the CommServe via the SNMP protocol to another computer that receives the SNMP trap using a trap receiver software. An SNMP trap is sent just once each time an alert is generated by the CommServe. These traps are sent in the Management Information Protocol (MIB) format described in SNMP Trap Messages Received by the Trap Receiver Software.
A CommServe computer can send alerts via SNMP traps to multiple computers. These computers can receive these alerts even if they do not have CommServe software installed.
Once an alert is configured and then sent as an SNMP trap, it cannot be resent. Hence, if the connection is lost between the CommServe computer that sent the trap and the remote computer receiving the trap, the trap will not be re-sent once the connection between both computers is restored.
SNMP alert notifications can be customized by adding alert token arguments to the alert configuration. The tokens will be included in the body of the alert notification message.
SNMP Version 1 (SNMPv1) is the currently supported SNMP protocol.
This section provides an example of an SNMP trap alert message and a description of the fields in the message. The following is an example of an SNMP trap message:
The Management Information Base (MIB) file is automatically installed when the SNMP Enabler is installed on a CommServe computer. This file is located at <software installation path>\MIB\Simpana.mib.
The following table lists the fields displayed as identified in Part 1 of the previous sample SNMP trap message, and the MIB definition:
Field | MIB Definition |
Agent Address: 172.19.71.67 | Address of the agent generating the trap. |
Trap OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.14604.2.2 | The first part of the Trap OID indicates the vendor’s identification number of the network management system contained in the entity. In this example, this number is the Enterprise identification number. The last part of the Trap OID, 2.2, indicates products and the software, respectively. |
Time Stamp: 74945 | The time in hundredths of a second since the network management portion of the system was last re-initialized. |
Generic: 6 | The generic trap type. The number 6 means it is enterprise specific. |
Specific: 1013 | The specific trap type. Each alert type will be sent using a unique identification number. The alert type (e.g., Data Protection, Disaster Recovery Backup, Data Aging, etc.) can be identified in the content of the trap message. |
The example that follows describes the Varbind OID field as identified as Part 2 of the SNMP trap message:
The following table provides a list of Trap Messages generated by the SNMP Enabler.
