LibreNMS SNMP Traps Intergration

SNMP Traps is one of the five (Trap, Get, Get-Next, Get-Response, Set), event message types used by SNMP.

The SNMP Traps are generated by an SNMP-enabled device (the agent) and sent to a collector (the manager).

The SNMP Trap informs the SNMP manager in real-time when an important event happened.

The SNMP trap uses thresholds configured at the agent. When a threshold is crossed at the agent, the SNMP trap is triggered and sent to the manager.

SNMP traps send data using the numeric OIDs which are translated using SNMP MIBs (Management Information Bases).

The SNMP Traps are not requested by the SNMP manager. The SNMP Get message can be used (with additional software) to poll information from the agent.

SNMP Traps primary functionality: Collect events in real-time for management and monitoring
Currently, LibreNMS supports a lot of trap handlers. You can check them on GitHub here. To add more see Adding new SNMP Trap handlers. Traps are handled via snmptrapd.

snmptrapd is an SNMP application that receives and logs SNMP TRAP and INFORM messages
