SNMP engine information ProbeWatch messages

To enable the generation of SNMP ProbeWatch message, set the EngineInfoProbeWatch property to 1.

When SNMP engine update automation is enabled, the probe generates following types of SNMP ProbeWatch messages:

  • ProbeWatch messages that report trap processing failure due to engine boot or engine time inconsistencies.

    These messages are in the following format:

    SNMP_WATCH<time=%d module=SNMPUSM>err:%s|engineinfo:type=%s id=%s cached_boot=%d cached_time=%d remote_boot=%d remote_time=%d

    Note: cached_boot and cached_time are the values in the probe's cache; remote_boot and remote_time are the values extracted from the SNMP trap.
  • ProbeWatch messages that indicate the successful operation of the update_engine command.

    These messages are in the following format:

    SNMP_WATCH<time=%d module=LCDTIME>engine_update_successful|engine_id=%s boot_updated=%s time_updated=%s host_updated=%s

    Note: Fields not updated will appear as <field_name>=none. For example, if engine boot was not updated, the ProbeWatch message will contain boot_updated=none; otherwise the updated value will be shown in the ProbeWatch summary. When the probe hits engine boot or engine time consistency issues during trap processing, SNMPUSM probe watch will appear in the event list as a problem. If the engine in question is successfully updated, LCDTIME probe watch will be sent to the event list as the resolution.

See the mttrapd.snmpwatch.rules file for the processing of these ProbeWatch messages.
