Hi All.
We are using HP Systems insight manager as snmp trap receiver. The way it handles them is quite simple : when a trap is received and if it’s severity is above informational (configurable), an alert is sent and logged with the sending host. Of course the host must be declared first. If the OID is unknown, it logs it with the host too, so we can see that a MIB is missing. Simple and efficient. But it’s no longer supported and it’s missing some functionalities like the most secure SNMP v3 encyption levels.
So I’m looking at moving the trap management to Centreon.
I’ve read many documents and post and my (simplified) understanding is that with Centreon we must attach a SNMP service to a host and define the traps it will manage.
But for me there is a problem : if the host sends a trap that is not monitored by the service, then I won’t be warned.
Is my understanding correct ?
If yes, is there the possibility to do the following : declare a SNMP service for a host and say : whatever the snmp trap you receive for that host and if the level is not informational then do that. And if the OID is unknown then log it somewhere so we can find which MIB file is missing.
Have a nice day.
