I was hoping for something slightly more illuminating than RTFM......
has Intermapper gone open source recently? ;-)
I _have_ a custom SNMP trap probe already, and the appropriate MIBs have
been imported into Intermapper.
Here a typical entry in the MIB:
cpqHe3PowerConverterDegraded TRAP-TYPE
ENTERPRISE compaq
VARIABLES { sysName, cpqHoTrapFlags, cpqHePwrConvChassis,
cpqHePwrConvSlot, cpqHePwrConvSocket }
DESCRIPTION
"The DC-DC Power Converter condition has been set to degraded
for the specified chassis, slot and socket."
--#TYPE "Power Converter Degraded"
--#SUMMARY "The Power Converter Degraded on Chassis %d, Slot %d,
Socket %d."
--#ARGUMENTS {2, 3, 4}
--#SEVERITY CRITICAL
--#TIMEINDEX 99
--#STATE DEGRADED
-- :CPQ,DEV:
-- The degraded status can only occurr when dc-dc converters are redundant
-- and one of the pair fails. For double high/wide dc-dc modules with
built-in
-- redundancy, if one half fails it will also be set to degraded.
-- :CPQ,ENDDEV:
::= 6043
All the actual trap contains is the value '6043' in the specificTrap
field. What I am looking for is the secret sauce that will allow me to
resolve the specificTrap variable into a description. Traps aren't much
use unless we can derive some human-readable intelligence from them.
