IBM Enterprise Console SNMP Event Example, Configuration File, Class Definition Statement File

Before starting the adapter, check each adapter file to determine if it defines the behavior you want from the adapter.

Configuration File

The configuration file defines the behavior of the adapter, which runs as a server daemon. The configuration file can have the common keywords described in “Configuration File” on page 9, as well as the following adapter-specific keywords:

AdapterSpecificFile=path

Specifies the full path name of the object identifier file. This keyword is required if the object identifier file is not in the same directory as the configuration file.

SNMP_PORT Specifies the port where the adapter listens for SNMP requests.

SNMP_TRAP Specifies the port where the adapter listens for SNMP traps. Only change this value if the producers of events are configured to send to the alternate port.

Class Definition Statement File

The CDS file defines how events are constructed from information sent by SNMP. It is described in detail in “Class Definition Statement File” on page 18 and in Appendix C, “Class Definition Statement File Reference” on page 155.

SNMP Event Example

CLASS Port_Segmenting_CBT SELECT

1:ATTR(=,$ENTERPRISE),VALUE(PREFIX, "1.3.6.1.4.1.52") ; 2:$SPECIFIC=258 ;

3:ATTR(=,"boardIndex") ; 4:ATTR(=,"portIndex") ;

FETCH 1:IPNAME($SOURCE_ADDR) ;

MAP hostname=$F1 ; boardIndex=$V3 ; portIndex=$V4 ;

sub_origin=PRINTF("board %s, port %s", $V3, $V4) ; status=CLOSED ;

END

Keywords

To customize events, use the following keywords in class definition statements. Event definition content and syntax are described in the IBM Tivoli Enterprise Console Rule Builder’s Guide.

$COMMUNITY

Specifies the trap community string.

$ENTERPRISE

Specifies the enterprise object identifier of the object generating the trap.

$SOURCE_TIME

Specifies the value of sysUpTime of the object generating the trap.

$TYPE	Specifies the generic trap type number (0-6).
$SPECIFIC	Specifies the enterprise-specific trap type number.

$SOURCE_ADDR

Specifies the address of the object sending the trap.
