Sun Solaris 9 Traps Contain Multiple Alarms
Hi all,
I have a Sun Solaris 9 box which acts as a firewall. Sometimes if multiple actions which cause snmp traps occur very close together, a single snmp trap that is sent containing the text for multiple alarms. I would like to prevent that and have a trap sent for each action which would cause the trap to be sent. Any assitance with this would be greatly apprecaited.
Thanks,
Chris

I brought Sun Fire 280R to practice UNIX. What are the requirements for the monitor/CRT? Will it burn out old non-Sun CRTs? Does it need LCD monitor?

netsnmp_trap_api
NETSNMP_TRAP_API(3) Net-SNMP NETSNMP_TRAP_API(3)
NAME
send_easy_trap, send_trap_vars, send_v2trap - send TRAPs or INFORMs from a Net-SNMP MIB module
SYNOPSIS
#include <net-snmp/agent/agent_trap.h>
void send_easy_trap(int trap, int specific);
void send_trap_vars(int trap, int specific, struct variable_list *vars);
void send_v2trap(struct variable_list *vars);
DESCRIPTION
These three routines may be used to send traps from a MIB module within the Net-SNMP agent (including an AgentX subagent).
send_easy_trap() sends an SNMPv1 trap (or the SNMPv2 equivalent) to the list of configured trap destinations (or "sinks"), using the pro-
vided values for the generic trap type, and specific trap value.
send_trap_vars() is similar, but appends the supplied list of variable bindings to the traps that are sent.
send_v2trap() uses the supplied list of variable bindings to form an SNMPv2 trap, which is sent to SNMPv2-capable sinks on the configured
list. An equivalent INFORM is sent to the configuredq list of inform sinks. Sinks that can only handle SNMPv1 traps are skipped.
The various "send_trap()" calls allow you to specify traps in different formats. And the various "trapsink" directives allow you to spec-
ify destinations to receive different formats. But *all* traps are sent to *all* destinations, regardless of how they were specified.
I.e. it's
___ trapsink
/
send_easy_trap ___ [ Trap ] ____ trap2sink
___ [ Generator ]
send_v2trap / [ ] ----- informsink
____
trapsess
*Not*
send_easy_trap -------------------> trapsink
send_v2trap -------------------> trap2sink
???? -------------------> informsink
???? -------------------> trapsess
WARNINGS
These routines are used to send the traps immediately they are called. Invoking them at the appropriate time is left to the MIB module
programmer.
