hostInactive

Module: LANtern-MIB

OID (symbolic): LANtern-MIB::hostInactive

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.1.1.1.0.9

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: A hostInactive(9) trap is generated whenever the LANtern network monitor first detects that a monitored host has not transmitted for the specified interval. The LANtern will attempt to verify that the host is actually dead by pinging it before generating the trap.

Examples

Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):

snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' LANtern-MIB::hostInactive
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.1.1.1.0.9

Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):

snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public

Example snmptrapd log entry:

zoo11-linux.zoo [UDP: [192.168.30.111]:59845->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (98114501) 11 days, 8:32:25.01
  SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = OID: LANtern-MIB::hostInactive
