SNMP traps (was: Linux build problem)

Hello!

Below is a short instruction for processing SNMP traps with NetXMS:

First, you should create mapping between SNMP trap and NetXMS event. To
do this, go to View -> Control Panel -> SNMP traps. You will see some
default mappings for standard SNMP traps. Select Trap -> New... To
create new trap mapping. System will match trap OID to OID in map entry,
and if OID in map entry is shorter or equal to trap's OID, event
specified in map entry will be generated. To start, I suggest you to
create map entry with OID ".1" and event SNMP_UNMATCHED_TRAP. This will
match all traps with OIDs starting with ".1" (usually any traps).
When you have setup trap to event mapping, you should see generated
events in event log (View -> Event Log). If you wish to generate alarms
or execute programs when you receive SNMP trap, you should configure
event processing policy (View -> Control Panel -> Event Processing
Policy) to process SNMP_UNMATCHED_TRAP or any other events you generate.
In event processing policy you can specify that you wish to create an
alarm from event or perform some actions.
Please note that if you wish to du very granular processing of traps,
most likely you will have to create custom events, which can be done
with event configurator (View -> Control Panel -> Events).

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
Victor
