Issue/Introduction

This doc provides a method for extracting SNMP OIDs for AutoSys alarms from the $AUTOSYS/snmp/CA.my file using the snmptranslate utility on UNIX/Linux. The example provided is from RedHat Linux but should translate easily to other platforms.

Resolution

Ensure the necessary net-snmp packages are installed. On RedHat, the packages are...

net-snmp.x86_64
net-snmp-libs.x86_64

Run the following command...

snmptranslate -Pu -Tz -M /usr/share/snmp/mibs:/opt/CA/WorkloadAutomationAE/autosys/snmp -m ALL |grep 1.3.6.1.4.1.791.3.2.1.0

This will produce a list of all the AutoSys alarm traps and their associated OIDs.
