SNMP Jobs › Defining SNMP Subscribe Jobs

Defining SNMP Subscribe Jobs

You can define an SNMP Subscribe (SNPC_JOB) job to subscribe for SNMP trap information.

Note: To run these jobs, your system requires CA WA Agent for UNIX, Linux, or Windows. Your agent administrator must configure the agent as an SNMP manager and configure the SNMP trap listener.

Note: For information on configuring the agent's trap listener for SNMP Subscribe jobs, see the CA Workload Automation Agent for UNIX, Linux, or Windows Implementation Guide.

Required Statements

To define an SNMP Subscribe job, you must specify the following statements:

• AGENT
• FILTER
• MIB

Optional Statements

You can specify the following optional statement for an SNMP Subscribe job:

• DESTINATION
• JOBCLASS

Example: Subscribe to the First SNMP Trap the Agent Receives

Suppose that you want the agent to subscribe to the first SNMP trap it receives. In this example, the name of the MIB file is RFC1213-MIB.mib. When the agent receives the first trap, the job completes.

AGENT SNMPAGENT
MIB 'C:\SNMP\MIBs\RFC1213-MIB.mib'
FILTER .*

Example: Subscribe to All SNMP Traps the Agent Receives

Suppose that you want the agent to subscribe to all SNMP traps it receives. In this example, the name of the MIB file is RFC1213-MIB.mib. Whenever the agent receives a trap, an alert named ALRT is sent.

AGENT SNMPAGENT
MIB 'C:\SNMP\MIBs\RFC1213-MIB.mib' CONTINUOUS(ALRT)
FILTER .*
