Extension Agent traps

The Adaptive Server Anywhere SNMP Extension Agent sends a trap
whenever a connection is dropped by the database server. The OID of this
trap is

1.3.6.1.2.1.39.2.1

.

The only other traps sent by the Adaptive Server Anywhere agent are
dynamic traps.

For more information about dynamic traps, see

“Creating dynamic

traps” on page 19

Creating dynamic traps

A dynamic trap is a trap that is sent by the Adaptive Server Anywhere
Extension Agent when a simple expression involving the value of a
particular property, statistic, or option is true. Dynamic traps are created in
the

asasnmp.ini

file. The format of the trap information in the

asasnmp.ini

file entry is as follows:

Trap<trapnum>=[1.3.6.1.4.1.897.2.]<oid>[.<dbnum>] <op> <value>

trapnum

is the dynamic trap number. It must start at 1 and be sequential.

oid

is the OID of the property, statistic, or option. OIDs in either the

Adaptive Server Anywhere MIB or the RDBMS MIB are supported. If the
OID given is an invalid Adaptive Server Anywhere or RDBMS OID, the
Adaptive Server Anywhere MIB prefix (1.3.6.1.4.1.897.2.) is prepended.

For a list of OIDs in the Adaptive Server Anywhere MIB, see

“Adaptive

Server Anywhere MIB Reference” on page 23

.

For a list of OIDs in the RDBMS MIB, see

“RDBMS MIB Reference”

on page 41

.

dbnum

is the database number. This field is optional, but if specified, it

must match the database number of the [DB

n

] section of the

asasnmp.ini

file.

op

must have one of the following values:

= or == (equality)

!=, <>, or >< (inequality)

<= or =< (less than or equal)

>= or => (greater than or equal)

< (less than)

> (greater than)
