Alert action - show message

Post by ampo »

Hello.

I set HostMonitor as SNMP listener to SNMP trap messages.
The action I set for such message is message (popup).

My question is:
Ho do I set the message to display the content of the message, the text itself?

Thanks.

As you may see "show message" action displays window that shows some test parameters including test status and value of Reply field.
SNMP Trap test allows you to choose information displayed in Reply field of the test. Quote from the manual:
======================
Display
This option defines what information will be displayed in the Reply field of the test item. Choose one of the following options:

Agent address
Represents IP address of the host that have sent the message

Trap type
Represents type of the trap. It provides information about generic type and enterprise specific number. Generic type could be one of the following: Cold Start, Warm Start, Link Down, Link Up, Auth Failure, EGP Loss, Specific.

Enterprise
Enterprise field contains an OBJECT IDENTIFIER which names the device that have sent the trap

OID
Variable name (OID)

Counter
Variable value

Relative value
Relative value of the variable. This is could be useful when you check incoming trap messages for some specific variable and compare current value of the variable with its previous value (see "Message contains OID" option in the Trap Filter dialog).

OID & Value
Display variable name (OID) and variable value
======================

If you want to display variable value, choose "Display: Counter" option

Regards
Alex
