Default Parameters for StratusHwTrapTest

The StratusHwTrapTest monitors the staus of various hardware elements present in the Stratus server using SNMP traps. This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the StratusHwTrapTest.

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.  

  • In the SOURCEADDRESS text box, specify a comma-separated list of IP addresses or address patterns of the hosts sending the traps. For example, 10.0.0.1,192.168.10.*. A leading '*' signifies any number of leading characters, while a trailing '*' signifies any number of trailing characters.

  • In the OIDVALUE text box, provide a comma-separated list of OID and value pairs returned by the traps. The values are to be expressed in the form, DisplayName:OID-OIDValue. For example, assume that the following OIDs are to be considered by this test: .1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.2 and .1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.3. The values of these OIDs are as given hereunder:

    OID Value
    .1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.2 Host_system
    .1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.3 NETWORK

    In this case the OIDVALUE parameter can be configured as Trap1:.1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.2-Host_system,Trap2:.1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.3-Network, where Trap1 and Trap2 are the display names that appear as descriptors of this test in the monitor interface. The test considers a configured OID for monitoring only when the actual value of the OID matches with its configured value. For instance, in the example above, if the value of OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.2 is found to be HOST and not Host_system, then the test ignores OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.9156.1.1.2 while monitoring.

    An * can be used in the OID/value patterns to denote any number of leading or trailing characters (as the case may be). For example, to monitor all the OIDs that return values which begin with the letter 'F', set this parameter to Failed:*-F*.

  • Selecting the TRUE option against SHOWOID will ensure that the detailed diagnosis of this test shows the OID strings along with their corresponding values. If you select FALSE, then the values alone will appear in the detailed diagnosis page, and not the OIDs.

  • Once the aforesaid values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.
