snmp type

To process events received via SNMP, you must use json normalizer.

It is available for Windows and Linux Agents. Supported protocol versions:

• snmpV1
• snmpV2
• snmpV3

When creating this type of connector, you need to define values for the following settings:

• Basic settings tab:
  • Name (required)—a unique name for this type of resource. Must contain 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
  • Tenant (required)—name of the tenant that owns the resource.
  • Type (required)—connector type, snmp.
  • SNMP version (required)—This drop-down list allows you to select the version of the protocol to use.
  • Host (required)—hostname or its IP address. Available formats: hostname, IPv4, IPv6.
  • Port (required)—port for connecting to the host. Typically 161 or 162 are used.

  The SNMP version, Host and Port settings define one connection to a SNMP resource. You can create several such connections in one connector by adding new ones by clicking the SNMP resource button. You can delete connections by clicking the bin icon ().

  • Secret (required)—a drop-down list to select the secret which stores the credentials for connecting via the Simple Network Management Protocol. The secret type must match the SNMP version. If required, a secret can be created in the connector creation window by clicking the plus icon (). The selected secret can be changed by clicking the pencil icon ().
  • Source data—a table in which you can specify the rules for naming the received data, according to which OIDs, object identifiers, will be converted into keys with which the normalizer can interact. Available table columns:
    • Parameter name (required)—an arbitrary name for the data type. For example, Site name or Site uptime.
    • OID (required)—a unique identifier that determines where to look for the required data at the event source. For example, 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.
    • Key (required)—a unique identifier returned in response to a request to the asset with the value of the requested setting. For example, sysName. This key can be accessed when normalizing data.
    • MAC address—if this functionality is enabled, KUMA correctly decodes data where the OID contains information about the MAC address in OctetString format. After decoding, the MAC address is converted to a String value of the XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format.
  • Description—resource description: up to 4,000 Unicode characters.
• Advanced settings tab:
  • Character encoding—a setting that specifies character encoding. The default value is UTF-8.
  • Debug—a toggle switch that lets you specify whether resource logging must be enabled. By default, this toggle switch is in the Disabled position.
