event snmp [tag tag] oid value get-type {exact | next} entry-op {gt | ge | eq | ne | lt | le} entry-val
value [{exit-comb {or | and} exit-op {gt | ge | eq | ne | lt | le} exit-val value exit-time time} |
{exit-op {gt | ge | eq | ne | lt | le} exit-val value}] poll-interval value
no event snmp [tag tag] oid value get-type {exact | next} entry-op {gt | ge | eq | ne | lt | le}
entry-val value [{exit-comb {or | and} exit-op {gt | ge | eq | ne | lt | le} exit-val value exit-time
time} | {exit-op {gt | ge | eq | ne | lt | le} exit-val value}] poll-interval value
Syntax Description tag tag (Optional) Identifies this specific event when multiple events are included in the
policy.
oid value Specifies the SNMP object identifier (object ID) values in the value argument as
the event criteria. The value of the data element must be in SNMP dotted notation.
An OID is defined as a type in the associated MIB and each type has an object
value. Monitoring of some OID types is supported. When the oid keyword is
used, an error message is returned if the OID is not one of the following:
• INTEGER_TYPE
• COUNTER_TYPE
• GAUGE_TYPE
• TIME_TICKS_TYPE
• COUNTER_64_TYPE
• OCTET_PRIM_TYPE
• OPAQUE_PRIM_TYPE
get-type Specifies the type of SNMP get operation to be applied to the object ID specified
by the oid value argument.
exact Retrieves the object ID specified by the oid value argument.
next Retrieves the object ID that is the alphanumeric successor to the object ID
specified by the oid value argument.
entry-op op Compares the contents of the current object ID value with the entry value using
the specified operator:
• gt—Greater than
• ge—Greater than or equal to
• eq—Equal to
• ne—Not equal to
• lt—Less than
• le—Less than or equal to
If there is a match, an event is triggered and event monitoring is disabled until the
exit criteria are met.
