SNMP Trigger

The SNMP trigger configuration specifies the process to run upon the receipt of an SNMP trap meeting the specified filter criteria. The following descriptions are for fields to configure on the General Properties tab of the SNMP Trigger dialog.

General Properties

Specifies SNMP trigger properties that enable processes to be triggered upon the receipt of an SNMP trap.

Description

Describes the SNMP trap filter.

Source IP address

Specifies the IPv4 subnet in CIDR format against which the source IP address is matched. For example: 172.24.36.0/24 matches any source IP address in the range from 172.24.36.1 to 172.24.36.254, not counting the network address and the broadcast address, which are not assigned to hosts. To accept traps from all source IP addresses, enter 0.0.0.0/0.

Trap OID

Specifies a regular expression matching the SNMP trap object identifier (OID). An OID is a unique numeric identifier for a data object that is paired with a value in an SNMP trap message.

Values:

  • Regular expression matching the SNMP trap OID.
  • Blank - Accepts SNMP traps with any OID.
  • .* (dot asterisk) - Accepts SNMP traps with any OID, where dot (.) means any value and asterisk (*) indicates any number of times.
Payload Match

Specifies a regular expression matching any of the payload values of the trap. Leave blank (or type .*) to accept SNMP traps with any payload content. For example, testpayload.

Process Path

Specifies the full path of the Process to run when receiving an SNMP trap that matches the filter criteria. The checked-in version of the Process Path is used during execution.
