Multiple VARBINDs for SNMP Traps

Post by fishvict »

Is it possible to implement the option to allow for multiple VARBINDs in the SNMP traps?

right now we can only send one, and we need to send multiple so that our analysis software can separate the components.

Can you analysis software accept several SNMP Trap messages? You may add several actions into alert profile...

Yes, however each trap message is considered a new event, so it doesn't parse the message correctly.

The software can parse each varbind, which will consist of the testname and the reply and other information we send it from hostmonitor.

Has there been any progress on this issue?

I could really use a way to differentiate macro values by variable bindings in traps also. Please let me know if there is any way to accommodate this either through the alert profile gui or if there is a raw file that can be modified to add to the trap.

Thanks,
Bob

Sorry, don't have good news for you :( We are busy with other tasks.
Probably you may find some command line utility that sends SNMP Traps and use "Execute external program" action to launch that utility...
