SNMP Trap: NTP Offset¶
A trap is generated when the NTP offset exceeds 1 second.
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 - NTP exceeds 1 second.
.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 = ‘WARNING: The ntp offset exceeds 1 second on <server info>’
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.dismanEventMIB.dismanEventMIBNotificationPrefix. dismanEventMIBNotificationObjects.mteHotValue.0 = 1
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysName.0 = standalone
