hi guys,

hopefully you can help me with a small(for me big) problem.

i'd like to send smtp trap on some tests(on bad status) to my alarmserver. this works, but i can't send Testname or Hostname within the trap.
I read in your help that i can use macro variables within the Enterprise field, but %TestName% or %Hostname% won't work.

I get in this field on my received SNMP Trap only 0.0

Please help me soon

Enterprise is integer number, you cannot send name using this field (you can send TestID but I think its more logical to use this field as some HostMonitor ID - e.g. Enterprise=101 for all messages from HostMonitor).

Why you are not using MIB OID and MIB Value fields?
(MIB Type: OCTET STRING)

is there any other posibility to send TestName via SNMP Trap?

I can use MIB OID and MIB Values, but i don't now how i use it.

I have a normal Test Ping and how can i use MIB to send SNMP Trap to other host with TestName if bad status occurs?

Well, if you send SNMP Trap then you can provide data as variable within this Trap message. This is the only way and I do not see any problem with this.

Just use %TestName% as value.

Question is what to do on another end - does your alarmserver understand what to do with such Trap message and how it should be processes? Does it expect some specific Enterprise value, specific variable OID, etc?

many thanks, that helped me so much

i have added an fictional MIB OID in action properties and put %TestName% in MIB value with OCTET STRING as MIB type as you mentioned before.

the problem was that my alerting system doesn't know about this. So i have to add a new policy in my server.

now everything is running fine.

i love KS Hostmonitor and ordered now the newest version.

The combination KS Hostmonitor with DERDACK Enterprise Alert is very powerfull and great.
