MIB for SNMP alerts and agent emits
Tivoli monitoring agents emit three types of SNMP messages: agentStatusEvent to convey agent operational status, agentSitSampledEvent for situations that sample at intervals and become true, and agentSitPureEvent for situations that receive unsolicited notifications.
They are defined in the canbase.mib and cansyssg.mib files that are available on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agents installation media.
- agentStatusEvent
- The agentStatusEvent is a monitoring agent operational status information trap generated by the Tivoli Autonomous Agent SNMP Event Exporter to inform and notify about a specific agent operational event.
- agentSitSampledEvent
- A sampled situation event was detected. This trap was generated by the Tivoli Autonomous Agent SNMP Event Exporter in response to a situation threshold being exceeded at the time of the data sampling.
- agentSitPureEvent
- A pure situation event was detected. This trap was generated by the Tivoli Autonomous Agent SNMP Event Exporter in response to a situation threshold being exceeded. The variables in a pure event trap are identical to those for a sampled event trap except there is no agentSit-SampleInterval because pure events are not sampled; rather the arrival of unsolicited data from the monitored attribute group causes the situation to become true. A situation created with an attribute group for a system log, for example, opens a pure event when a log entry arrives.
