SNMP Traps

The SNMP Traps panel lets you configure the SNMP traps on the Primary Server to send log messages. The SNMP messages are sent in a predefined format and consists of the following two parts.

SNMP Message Header The following table lists the fields contained in the header:

Field	Details
Version number	Specifies the version of SNMP used. ZENworks 11 uses SNMPv1.
Community String	Defines an access environment for a group of network-management systems (NMS).

Protocol Data Unit (PDU) The following table lists the fields contained in the PDU:

Field	Details
Enterprise	Identifies the type of managed object generating the trap. ZENworks 11 uses 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.80.100.
Agent address	Provides the IP address of the machine where the trap was generated.
Generic trap type	This has the integer value 6. Type 6 is an enterprise- specific trap type, which has no standard interpretation in SNMP. The interpretation of the trap depends upon the value in the specific trap type field, which is defined by Message Logger MIB.
Specific trap code	For enterprise-specific traps generated by ZENworks 11, the values in the specific trap type field are as indicated below: For a severity level of MessageLogger.ERROR, the specific trap is 1. For a severity level of MessageLogger.WARN, the specific trap is 2. For a severity level of MessageLogger.INFO, the specific trap is 3.
Time stamp	The time stamp indicating when the trap occurred.
Variable bindings	Provides additional information pertaining to the trap. This field consists of the following name/value pairs: For trap ID 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.80.100.0.1, the value is the device GUID. For trap ID 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.80.100.0.2, the value is the device name. For trap ID 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.80.100.0.3, the value is the component name. For trap ID 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.80.100.0.4, the value is the time when the message was logged. For trap ID 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.80.100.0.5 the value is the message ID. For trap ID 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.80.100.0.6 the value is the probable cause.
