All information is transported as "varbinds" - an (OID,type,value) triplet. You can't simply shove in a text string, and expect the trap receiver to understand what to do with it. You need to add a suitable varbind to the end of the trap command: # snmptrap –c public xx.xx.xx.xx “” “” 6 99 “” someOID s "/ is 98% full please contact another” (where you have defined the someOID object in an appropriate MIB) > Hopefully there is an easy solution and any assistance would be appreciated. The easy solution is probably to use the DISMAN-EVENT-MIB, which was designed to handle just this sort of monitoring, and includes a dedicated notification for reporting a threshold being exceeded.
