<h1>SNMP Output Module</h1>
<p><b>Module Name:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; omsnmp</b></p>
<p><b>Description</b>:</p>
<p>Provides the ability to send syslog messages as an SNMPv1 &amp; v2c traps. By
default, SNMPv2c is preferred. The syslog message is wrapped into a OCTED
STRING variable, by default with the OID i.o.d.internet.private.enterprises.
This module uses the <a target="_blank" href="http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/">
NET-SNMP</a> library. In order to compile this module, you will need to have the
<a target="_blank" href="http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/">NET-SNMP</a>
developer (headers) package installed. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Action Line:</b></p>
<p>%omsnmp% without any further parameters.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>$actionsnmptransport </strong>(This parameter is optional, the
default value is &quot;udp&quot;)<br>
<br>
Defines the transport type you wish to use. Technically we can support all
transport types which are supported by NET-SNMP. <br>
To name a few possible values: <br>
<br>
udp, tcp, udp6, tcp6, icmp, icmp6 ...<br>
<br>
Example: <strong>$actionsnmptransport udp<br>
</strong></li>
<li><strong>$actionsnmptarget</strong><br>
<br>
This can be a hostname or ip address, and is our snmp target host. This
parameter is required, if the snmptarget is not defined, nothing will be
send. <br>
<br>
Example: <strong>$actionsnmptarget server.domain.xxx</strong><br>
</li>
<li><strong>$actionsnmptargetport </strong>(This parameter is optional, the
default value is &quot;162&quot;)<br>
<br>
The port which will be used, common values are port 162 or 161. <br>
<br>
Example: <strong>$actionsnmptargetport 162</strong><br>
</li>
<li><strong>$actionsnmpversion </strong>(This parameter is optional, the
default value is &quot;1&quot;)<br>
<br>
There can only be two choices for this parameter for now. <br>
0 means SNMPv1 will be used.<br>
1 means SNMPv2c will be used. <br>
Any other value will default to 1. <br>
<br>
Example: <strong>$actionsnmpversion 1</strong><br>
</li>
<li><strong>$actionsnmpcommunity </strong>(This parameter is optional, the
default value is &quot;public&quot;)<br>
<br>
This sets the used SNMP Community.<br>
<br>
Example:<strong> $actionsnmpcommunity public</strong><br>
</li>
<li><strong>$actionsnmpsyslogmessageoid </strong>(This parameter is
optional, the default value is &quot;1.3.6.1.4.1&quot; which means &quot;i.o.d.internet.private.enterprises&quot;)<br>
<br>
This OID will be used as a variable, type &quot;OCTET STRING&quot;. This variable will
contain the full syslog message including syslog header. I also recommend to
use the default value here unless you require to use a different OID. <br>
<br>
Example: <strong>$actionsnmpsyslogmessageoid 1.3.6.1.4.1</strong><br>
</li>
<li><strong>$actionsnmpenterpriseoid </strong>(This parameter is optional,
the default value is &quot;1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1&quot; which means &quot;enterprises.cmu.1.1&quot;)<br>
<br>
Customize this value if needed. I recommend to use the default value unless
you require to use a different OID. <br>
This configuration parameter is used for <strong>SNMPv1</strong> only. It
has no effect if <strong>SNMPv2</strong> is used. <br>
<br>
Example: <strong>$actionsnmpenterpriseoid 1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1 </strong><br>
</li>
<li><strong>$actionsnmpspecifictype </strong>(This parameter is optional,
the default value is &quot;0&quot;)<strong> </strong><br>
<br>
This is the specific trap number. This configuration parameter is used for
<strong>SNMPv1</strong> only. It has no effect if <strong>SNMPv2</strong> is
used. <br>
<br>
Example: <strong>$actionsnmpspecifictype 0</strong><br>
</li>
<li><strong>$actionsnmptraptype</strong> (This parameter is optional, the
default value is &quot;6&quot; which means SNMP_TRAP_ENTERPRISESPECIFIC) <br>
<br>
There are only 7 Possible trap types defined which can be used here. These
trap types are: <br>
0 = SNMP_TRAP_COLDSTART<br>
1 = SNMP_TRAP_WARMSTART<br>
2 = SNMP_TRAP_LINKDOWN<br>
3 = SNMP_TRAP_LINKUP<br>
4 = SNMP_TRAP_AUTHFAIL<br>
5 = SNMP_TRAP_EGPNEIGHBORLOSS<br>
6 = SNMP_TRAP_ENTERPRISESPECIFIC<br>
<br>
Any other value will default to 6 automatically. This configuration
parameter is used for <strong>SNMPv1</strong> only. It has no effect if
<strong>SNMPv2</strong> is used. <br>
<br>
Example: <strong>$actionsnmptraptype 6</strong><br>
</li>
</ul>
