1. How do I send SNMP traps?

The SNMP adaptor automatically converts the JMX notifications into SNMP traps. Hence, no additional coding effort is required for sending traps.

Questions

2. Can I add custom varbinds in the traps?

Yes, you can include your custom varbinds in the traps by just editing a configuration file.

Questions

3. Can I send traps to multiple managers?

Yes, you can configure the adaptor to send traps to multiple managers. Flexibility of sending traps to multiple managers is achieved with the help of the Trap Forwarding table. Managers can even be dynamically configured to receive traps by adding entries to the Trap Forwarding table.

Questions

4. How do I send V3 traps?

You can send V3 traps (also V1 and V2) by specifying the version of the manager in the Trap Forwarding table. You can configure the version of the trap for each manager entry.

Questions

5. Can I configure the adaptor to send reliable traps?

Yes, you can configure the adaptor to send reliable traps, so that you can ensure the traps being sent are received by the manager.

Questions

6. How do I use Rule Engine to defined traps dynamically?

You can use Rule Editor, an administrative tool, to configure user-defined thresholds on MBean attributes, which when exceeded would automatically generate SNMP traps.
