SNMP traps
This section explains the content of an SNMP trap that is sent from OpsCenter.
Each OpsCenter trap contains 2 standard object identifiers and 12 OpsCenter-specific object identifiers. An object identifier (or OID) is a numeric string that is used to uniquely identify an object.
The following table shows the contents of a trap that is sent from OpsCenter. A total of 14 bindings (or 14 name-value pairs) are present in each trap that is sent from OpsCenter. Each binding associates a particular Management Information Base (MIB) object instance with its current value.
Table: OpsCenter trap binding shows the name-value pairs that the traps pass to the SNMP manager.

The first two OIDs listed in the table are standard SNMP OIDs. The other OIDs starting from 1.3.6.1.4.1.1302.3.12.10.1.1 to 1.3.6.1.4.1.1302.3.12.10.1.12 are OpsCenter OIDs. As per SNMPv2c trap definition, the two standard SNMP OIDs must be present as part of every trap.
All the 12 OpsCenter OIDs are defined in the OpsCenter MIB files. However, the two standard OIDs are not defined in the OpsCenter MIB files.
