SNMP Traps EE¶
Installation¶
To install the SNMPTrapModule, execute the following command:
apt-get install openitcockpit-module-snmp-trap
How this works:¶
The traps are accepted by snmptrapd and passed to snmptthandler. This will store spool files in the folder /var/spool/snmptt
, which in turn will be processed/translated by the snmptt daemon and stored in the database. Finally, the traps are checked and processed in the database using the plugin check_snmptraps.pl. A cron job regularly deletes old and obsolete snmptraps from the database.
In the log file /var/log/snmptt/snmptt.debug
, you can see which traps were able to be processed or were unknown. You also have the option to turn off debugging.
To do this, navigate to System Configuration -> System -> Configuration File Editor
and select the file /opt/openitc/etc/SnmpTrapModule/snmptt.ini
. Now set the debugging value to 1
.
Test¶
As a test, a status such as linkDown can be set to Critical in /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf
. Traps can then be generated with the following commands (the OID may have to be adjusted):
SNMP v2¶
snmptrap -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 "" .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3
snmptrap -v 2c -c public 127.0.0.1 "" .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4
SNMP v3¶
With Engine ID and authPriv¶
snmptrap -Ci -e 0x8000123acd1ab43abbfff000fa -v 3 -a SHA -A traptest1 -x AES -X traptest2 -l authPriv -u trapreceiver localhost 0 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3
snmptrap -Ci -e 0x8000123acd1ab43abbfff000fa -v 3 -a SHA -A traptest1 -x AES -X traptest2 -l authPriv -u trapreceiver localhost 0 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4
without Engine ID (INFORMs) and authPriv¶
snmptrap -Ci -v 3 -a SHA -A traptest1 -x AES -X traptest2 -l authPriv -u trapreceiver localhost 0 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3
snmptrap -Ci -v 3 -a SHA -A traptest1 -x AES -X traptest2 -l authPriv -u trapreceiver localhost 0 .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.4
