Static elements

The probe breaks event data down into tokens and parses them into elements. Elements are used to assign values to ObjectServer fields; the field values contain the event details in a form that the ObjectServer understands.

The following table describes the static elements that the probe generates:

Table 1. Static elements  

Element name

Element description

$community

This element contains the SNMP community string.

$enterprise

This element contains the SNMP enterprise string.

$Eventcount

This element shows the number of event.

$generic-trap

This element contains the SNMP generic trap integer value. Applies only to traps in V1 format.

$IPAddress

This element contains the IP address of the device.

$ipStatus

This element indicates the management status of the device that originated the trap.

Note: The probe only generates the ipStatus element if the GetIpStatus property is set to 1.

$LastToken

This element corresponds to the last varbind in the trap.

$Node

This element indicates the node from which the trap originated.

Note: If the NoNameResolution property is set to 0, the probe resolves the host name and sets the $Node element to this value. If the host name is not resolvable by the Domain Name Server, the probe sets the $Node element to the IP address.

$notify

This element contains the SNMP notify value. Applies only to traps in V2 format.

$Sequence

This element indicates the number of times the probe has been run.

$SNMP_Version

This element indicates which version of the SNMP software is monitoring the network.
