SNMP TRAP Receiver - Sending Notification for each received Trap

Votes:

0

Hi,

currently the SNMP TRAP Receiver is useless for us. We have Oracle Enterprise Manager, this one sends SNMP Traps to PRTG. PRTG SNMP TRAP Receiver set a sensor to Status red, orange if a defined counts of received SNMP TRAPS is reached.

We need possibility to send a notification for each received SNMP TRAP.

Currently we have a "workaround" using check_mk as TRAP receiver, Shellscript analyses received TRAP and copies a predefined Sensor which has Status red.

Example:

Database Name: DBPROD

Database HoST: DBHOST01

DB Problem: Tablespace DATA is 90% full

Then Script does following:

copies a predefined sensor with status red as new Sensor to Host: DBHOST01. Name of Sensor is DatabaseName: DBPROD and DB Problem will be added as comment (better would be Red Box in top of sensor).

Any Idea how we can fix problem?

Hi,

I know it has been some time, but we needed to do something similar and created a Windows service in C#. This way you can do whatever you want with each received SNMP message.
