SNMP Trap: Process Memory Threshold Status

A trap is generated when the a process memory exceeds its current threshold.

Identification

• The originating IP / hostname is used to identify the system generating the traps
• The NMS is responsible for associating traps with each managed system, along with clearing of alarms and escalation to the relevant system operator
• The trap OID is generic for various SNMP events monitored by the system
• The SNMP system name is included as part of the variable binding to assist identification:
• .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysName.0 = standalone

Trap OID

.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.dismanEventMIB.dismanEventMIBNotificationPrefix. dismanEventMIBNotifications.mteTriggerFired

Variable Bindings - Process exceeds memory threshold.

• .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysUpTime.0 = 2 minutes (12065)
• snmpTrapOID = mteTriggerFired
• .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.dismanEventMIB.dismanEventMIBNotificationPrefix. dismanEventMIBNotificationObjects.mteHotTrigger.0 = ‘<process name: mem_<name> exceeded maximum value of current_threshold with current_reading>’
• .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.dismanEventMIB.dismanEventMIBNotificationPrefix. dismanEventMIBNotificationObjects.mteHotValue.0 = 1
• .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysName.0 = standalone
