OID (symbolic): VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIB::vpxdAlarm

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.3.0.201

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: This notification is sent on entity alarm state change, by the vCenter Server SNMP agent. This information is also available through the vSphere client, through the Alarms screen, or through the Managed Object Browser(MOB) interface for alarms at https:///mob/?moid=AlarmManager. Listing individual objects of a specific type or ID can be done through the PropertyCollector SDK API. See http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk2xpubs/ReferenceGuide/vmodl.query.PropertyCollector.html for details.

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-VC-EVENT-MIB::vpxdAlarm
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.4.3.0.201

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]:54825->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (432658985) 50 days, 1:49:49.85
  SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = OID: VMWARE-VC-EVENT-MIB::vpxdAlarm
