Issue/Introduction

How to send custom Trap so a user can add their own fields in the trap.

Resolution

The SNMP adapter’s publisher can convert an alert into a trap and publish to the target machine. The trap converted from alert contains fields such as: Agent Name, Alert Severity, IP Address, Agent Severity… Here SNMP is functioning as a console application. If the user would not like to send an alert, refer to the following steps to build a custom SNMP HMA:

1). Build an XML like D:\tibco\hawk\4.9\adapters\snmp\xml\tibhawktraps.xml,  and add 


            <inputParameter
               name = "yourCustomString"
               type = "STRING"
               oid = ".1.3.6.1.4.1.2000.1.1.18.0"
               help = "This field specifies your own field for this user defined trap.">
            </inputParameter>

to add a field.

Modify microagent name in:


<microagent

         name = "COM.TIBCO.hawk.snmp.yourCustomHMA"
         display_name = "yourCustomHMA"
         help = "TIBCO Hawk SNMP Adapter custom microagent hawk-traps.">

2). In tibhawksnmp.cfg, add the XML in step 1 to "-xml_file".

3). Restart the SNMP adapter and you will see the custom SNMP HMA in Microagent List.
