RE: How to write a code to send a trap when we remove power cable?

Harendra,

 

Check for SNMP agents supplied with the OS or by the hardware
manufacturer.  Most will detect hardware faults and send traps.  Dell,
HP, and IBM all supply a sub-agent that will alarm on virtually any
hardware fault.

 

If that is not available, consider using the agent "Arbitrary Extension
Commands" function.  I have never used them for traps, so it may not be
appropriate.

 

If you can detect the hardware fault with a script (you could have it
poll every couple of seconds), then you can have that script execute an
snmptrap command with a "fake" OID that your management system will
recognize.  This method means you don't have to write a subagent.

 

An expert like Dave Shield could probably comment on the viability of
this option.

 

Good luck.

Hi All,

 

I am using suse linux and I snmpd as master agent. I want to write a
sub-agent which sends trap upon removing one power cable(there are two
slots available both can be connected at the same time). Thanks in
advance.

 

 

Thanks,

Harendra
