Note

Only equality or inequality are supported for string values.

value

is the value to use in the expression. String values may be enclosed

in single or double quotes; these quotes will not be included in the value. If
you want the beginning or closing quotation marks to be included in the
string, you must double them. Note that single quotes occurring within the
string should not be doubled.

You can specify as many trap fields as you wish in the

asasnmp.ini

file. The

OID used for the trap will be

1.3.6.1.4.1.897.2.4.1

, and the data sent

with the trap will indicate the trap number of the trap that was sent.

You can specify as many Trap fields as you wish in the

file. The

OID used for the trap will be

1.3.6.1.4.1.897.2.4.1

, and the data sent

with the trap includes the following:

the trap number (starts at 1 for the first dynamic trap sent by the Adaptive
Server Anywhere SNMP agent)

the database index

the database name trap index (from the

asasnmp.ini

file)

the variable name

the variable value (this is the current value of the variable, not necessarily
the threshold value)

Dynamic trap behavior

Once a dynamic trap is triggered, the trap is not be sent again until the
condition that caused it to be triggered changes to FALSE and then back to
TRUE again.

For example, if you have a dynamic trap set using

1.1.11.1

>

= 5120

,

then the trap is triggered when the server’s cache size reaches 5 MB (= 5120
KB) and the dynamic trap is disabled, so no more traps are sent. The only
way the trap is re-enabled is if the cache size later drops below 5 MB. You
would then be notified if the cache size grew to 5 MB again.
