Self Monitor Table Action Parameters

The SystemEDGE agent provides several default parameters to action commands when they are invoked. These parameters are in addition to any parameters you specify in the action string, and they are passed on the command line after those that you specify. The default action parameters are the same as the parameters provided in the SNMP traps that the agent sends for the Self Monitor table.

Note: You can prevent the agent from including these action parameters in the command by setting the 0x00000020 flag in the table entry.

The following list describes the default parameters for Self Monitor table actions:

trapType

Defines the type of trap being sent, such as ntEventMonNotReadyTrap or ntEventMonMatchTrap.

monDescr

Defines the description from the table entry.

monOID

Defines the OID from the table entry.

monCurrVal

Defines the current value from the table entry.

monValue

Defines the value being monitored from the table entry.

monRowStatus

Defines the current row status for the table entry.

monOperator

Defines the operator being used from the table entry. The value passed to the action script is the numeric representation of the actual operator. For example, if the operator is >, the value passed to the action script is 2.

monIndex

Defines the index from the table entry.

monFlags

Defines the flags associated with the table entry. The value passed to the action script is in base 16 (hexadecimal) notation with a leading 0x to indicate that it is a hexadecimal number (for example, 0x00000020).

monObjClass

Defines the object class of the monitored MIB object for use with the object state management model. The agent uses the sysedge.oid file to assign a default value. A class name can be used to specify a monitored object table. If SystemEDGE does not determine an existing table with the specified name, SystemEDGE creates a class. The class specifies the monitoring object identifier (SNMP OID) and can be referenced for aggregation purposes.

Important! The newly created reference is valid only if the monitoring entry resolves to an existing SNMP OID.

monObjInstance

Defines the object instance of the monitored MIB object for use with the object state management model. If a value is not configured and the agent cannot determine a default, the value is 'unknown'. The default for a nontabular object is 'null'. For seamless monitoring of remote objects, instance names start with a prefix //hostname/.

For local objects, the agent adds the prefix //./ to each instance name (including 'null'). This attribute cannot be set to an empty string or to '*'. Any such requests are ignored. If the instance name cannot be matched at the time of parsing to a corresponding instance, SystemEDGE creates a reference to this monitoring entry's OID with the specified instance name.

Important! The newly created reference is valid only if the monitoring entry resolves to an existing SNMP OID.

monObjAttribute

Defines the object instance of the monitored MIB object for use with the object state management model. The agent uses the sysedge.oid file to assign a default value for objects that corresponds to the MIB attribute name. If the attribute name is not known during parsing of the monitoring entry, SystemEDGE creates an attribute with the specified name.

Permissions: Read-write

Default: ASCII MIB attribute name of the monitored OID

Important! The newly created reference is valid only if the monitoring entry resolves to an existing SNMP OID.

monCurrState

Defines the current state of the table entry.
