Trap Probe Example
The following example shows the handling of traps.
"type" = "custom-snmp-trap"
"package" = "com.dartware"
"probe_name" = "snmp.trapdisplay"
"human_name" = "Trap Viewer"
"version" = "2.2"
"address_type" = "IP,AT"
"port_number" = "161"
"display_name" = "SNMP/Trap Viewer"
\GB\Trap Viewer Probe\P\
This probe listens for trap packets to arrive and displays the contents of the
trap in the Status Window. It does not actively poll the device, nor does it
take any action based on the trap contents.
You can view all the variables that have been parsed from the trap packet in the
device's Status Window. You can also use this as a prototype for making your own
trap probes.
\B\How the Trap Viewer Probe Works\p\
When a trap arrives, the probe parses the trap to get the values from the trap's
header as well as the first ten items in its Varbind List. It assigns all these
values to variables that can be used in the probe and displayed in the Status
Window.
To see how this probe works, you can configure your equipment to send traps to
InterMapper, or use the net-snmp \b\snmptrap\p\ command. Either way, the Status
Window will show the values present in any traps that arrive.
For more information on the \b\snmptrap\p\ command, read the net-snmp
documentation for the
\u2=http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-4/commands/snmptrap.html\trap
tutorial\p0\ and the
\u2=http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpinform.html\snmptrap command\0p\. The
remainder of this note shows how to send a trap with variables from the Dartware
MIB:
\i\SNMPv1 Traps\p\
a) Add a device to a map with the IP address \i\192.168.56.78\p\
b) Set it to use this probe
c) Issue the snmptrap command below from the command line (it should all be on
one line):
snmptrap -v 1 -c commString localhost
1.3.6.1.4.1.6306 192.168.56.78 6 123 4567890

\i\SNMPv2c Traps\p\
a) Add a device to the map with an IP address of \i\localhost\p\
b) Set it to use this probe
c) Issue the snmptrap command below from the command line (it should all be on
one line)
snmptrap -v 2c -c commString localhost
