Custom and scheduled SNMP requests

[Mateusz Maciejewski]

Hi All,

I added to the SIM 6.2 cooling devices - EMERSON Liebert CRV. I downloaded MIBs form Emerson web page, compiled and added them using mcompile and mxmib. I would like to be informed by email each time when temperature setpoint on CRV has changed. The problem is, CRV is not sending traps when this setpoint changes. Is it possible to send scheduled SNMP requests from SIM to check the setpoint? How can I monitor (check regularly) non-HP devices parameters having only their MIBs?

RGDS,

Hi Mateusz.

I don't think Sim can send custom SNMP requests, but using snmputil.exe, you can create a scheduled task and send SNMP request regularly with a batch :
snmputil get srv_name snmp_comm snmp_OID

Then depending on the result, you can send a trap to the SIM server using TrapGen.exe and a predefined trap or a custom one you added to the manufacturer's mib file.

It needs a little but sipmle scripting. This is what I did for an internal application a couple of years before.

Regards.
