NAME

Transform::Alert::Output::SNMP::Trap - Transform alerts to SNMP traps

SYNOPSIS

    # In your configuration
    <Output test>
       Type          SNMP::Trap
       TemplateFile  outputs/test.tt
 
       # See Net::SNMP->new
       <ConnOpts>
          Hostname      snmp.foobar.org
          Port          161  # default
          Version       1    # default
          Community     public  # default
          # ...etc., etc., etc...
 
          # NonBlocking - DO NOT USE!
       </ConnOpts>
    </Output>

DESCRIPTION

This output type will send a SNMP trap for each converted input. See Net::SNMP for a list of the ConnOpts section parameters.

OUTPUT FORMAT

Output templates should use the following format:

    1.3.6.1.2.#.#.#.#  #  Value, blah blah blah...
    1.3.6.1.2.#.#.#.#  #  Value, blah blah blah...

In other words, each line is a set of varbinds. Within each line is a set of 3 values, separated by whitespace:

  • OID

  • Object Type (numeric form)

  • Value

A list of object types can be found here.

Please note that SNMPv2 defines the first two variables bindings as such:

     # sysUpTime.0   TIMETICKS          $timeticks
     # snmpTrapOID.0 OBJECT_IDENTIFIER  $oid
     1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0       43  ....
     1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.4.1.0    6  ....

Make sure these are included in your template.

CAVEATS

No support for SNMPv1 traps yet, as the sending format is very different. Patches welcome!

TODO

Use Net::SNMPu, when that gets released...
