This feature is only available in the licensed version.
This action will send an SNMP trap to the IP Address specified, whenever a Syslog message is received that matches the filters set.
You can create a new Action by right-clicking on the File | Setup | Action item, or by highlighting it and clicking the "Add New item" button on the tool-bar.
The following parameters apply to the "Send SNMP trap" option:
Destination IP address
The IP address of the system that will be receiving the SNMP trap.
Message text
The content of the SNMP trap to be forwarded. This field can contain all of the standard message variables, and these can be selected by clicking on the Insert message content or counters link (just above the Message text field)
Agent IP address
The IP address that will appear as the source of the SNMP trap. By default this is set to "The original sender" but can be set to "From this machine" (i.e. the address of the machine running the Kiwi Syslog Daemon)
Generic type
A value from 0 to 6 that indicates the type of trap to be sent. This field only applies for version 1 traps.
The values are:
0 Cold Start
1 Warm Start
2 Link Down
3 Link Up
4 Authentication Failure
5 EGP Neighbor Loss
6 Enterprise Specific
These can be selected from the drop down menu.
Version
The SNMP version (v1 or v2) supported by the system receiving the SNMP traps from your Kiwi Syslog Daemon.
Enterprise OID
This is a dotted numerical value (1.3.6.1.x.x.x.x) that represents the MIB enterprise of the SNMP trap. This field only applies for version 1 traps. Version 2 traps have the Enterprise value bound as the second variable in the message.
If the Generic Type is set to 6 it indicates an Enterprise type trap. In this case the Specific Trap value needs to be considered.
Variable OID
This is a dotted decimal value (1.3.6.1.x.x.x.x) that represents that MIB variable of version 2 SNMP traps.
Community
This is like a password that is included in the trap message. Normally this value is set to values such as "public", "private" or "monitor".
Specific type
This is a value that indicates the condition that caused the trap to be sent. In version 2 traps, this condition will be unique to the MIB defined for the particular device sending the trap (or syslog message).
Remote port
The port to which the SNMP trap will be sent. The default is set to 162.
If you change this setting, you will need to configure the receiving device to "listen" for SNMP traps on the same port number.
