snmp trap

Question

Hi, AutoStart doesn´t send snmp trap to snmp server Environment - 2 nodes with Solaris 9 - AutoStart 5.1 I configured in the Setting tab the fields 'Snmp server' and 'Snmp comunity' with the correct values. I test the communication ports between nodes and snmp server and it was ok. With the snoop command we can see AutoStart does send anything I was readding the programming where I could see the next: ft::SendSNMPTrap Name ft::SendSNMPTrap¿Sends an SNMP trap to a destination node. Synopsis $errCode = &ft::SendSNMPTrap($severity, $trapText, $gateway, $community); Is it necessary to do? what is file which i have to type it? is it a new file? Regards Edgar

So far I just needed to use SNMP functionality once, and I found out as well that Autostart will not send out any SNMP traps by itself once you fill in the SNMP fields with the required info.
ft&SendSNMPTrap() function does work though, but in order to use it, you will have to write a rule (perl script) and a set of triggers to drive that rule in order to send out the stuff you want. You can find more in the 'programming guide' document. It is not that difficult to do, but it is best left to someone who has some experience with rules...
