SNMP Trap Severity

[Eugene Condor]

Hi,

How do you add a severity in SNMP trap?

I'm using SNMP4j. Code Below :

    TransportMapping transport = new DefaultUdpTransportMapping();
    Snmp snmp = new Snmp(transport);

    CommunityTarget localtarget = new CommunityTarget();
    localtarget.setCommunity(new OctetString("public"));
    localtarget.setAddress(new UdpAddress(managerIpAdd + "/162"));
    localtarget.setVersion(SnmpConstants.version2c);
    localtarget.setRetries(3);
    localtarget.setTimeout(2000);

    PDU pdu = new PDU();

    // need to specify the system up time
    pdu.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.sysUpTime, new OctetString(new Date().toString())));
    pdu.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.snmpTrapOID, targetOID));
    pdu.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.snmpTrapAddress, new IpAddress(ApplicationUtil.getMachineIpAddress())));

    // variable binding for Enterprise Specific objects, Severity (should be defined in MIB file)
    pdu.add(new VariableBinding(targetOID, new OctetString(message)));        

    pdu.setType(PDU.TRAP);

    snmp.send(pdu, localtarget);

    snmp.close();

Thanks

Hi Eugene and welcome to Javaranch!

I assume the SNMP4j docs/mailing list are of no help?

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome,

yes your right, theres no available docs for adding severity in SNMP4j trap.

Do you have any idea how to do it?

Thanks for the reply,
