User Guide: SNMP Agent

Connect to a SNMP server and listen to SNMP traps.

Agent configuration

The following describes the supported agent configuration attributes:

Attribute	Description	Value type	Required
bindHost	Bind hostname or IP address	Hostname or IP address	Y
bindPort	Bind port	Port number	N (Default = 162)
SNMPVersionValue	SNMP Version	Text (V1, V2c, V3c)	N

Agent link

For attributes linked to this agent, the following describes the supported agent link fields which are in addition to the standard Agent Link fields:

Field	Description	Value type	Required
type	Agent type	Text (Must be SNMPAgentLink)	Y
oid	The OID of the SNMP trap parameter	Text (OID e.g. 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.3.2.1)	Y

Wildcard

Use a value of * for oid to retrieve the entire trap message.

Additional info

To test the agent link you can send the following message from a terminal:

sudo snmptrap -v 2c -c public <you-machines-ip-address> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.3.0.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.3.2.1 i 123456

The SNMP value attribute should now have the value 123456.
