vmHBLost

Module: VMWARE-TRAPS-MIB

OID (symbolic): VMWARE-TRAPS-MIB::vmHBLost

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.0.3

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: This trap is sent when a virtual machine detects a loss in guest heartbeat.

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> '' VMWARE-TRAPS-MIB::vmHBLost
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.0.3

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]:59372->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (44730348) 5 days, 4:15:03.48
