Event Configuration File Syntax

The snmptrap.conf is an editable ASCII file, with a simple one line per event syntax:

Event_Name    Destination_Address

• Event_Name

  The name of a MIB event object (or a comma-separated group of names of event objects).

  Examples:

  serverUP

  serverUp,serverDown

  serverUp,serverDown,serverInitFail

• Destination_Address

  The address of an NMS (or a comma-separated group of the addresses of NMSs) to which generated traps should be sent. Each address should be of the form: HostID:port:community

  • HostID

    (mandatory) Either a hostname or IP address.

  • Port

    (optional) IP port number.

    Default: 162.

  • Community

    (optional) An SNMP community. Note that if community is specified, Port must also be specified.

    Default: "public"

    Example: 100.132.5.166

    Example: 100.132.5.166:162

    Example: victoria:162:public

Note: Be careful to avoid event duplication. That is, you should avoid putting the same event in multiple entries. Also, comment lines can be added lines, prefixed with a "#" character.
