SNMP v3 Traps Requirements

Products

• CA Privileged Access Manager (PAM)

Issue/Introduction

 

We want to use SNMP Traps for PAM monitoring

Environment

Release : 4.0

Component : PAM all versions

Cause

WE need the engineID from the snmp data

                  Engine ID - Specifies the SNMPEngineID that is used to uniquely identify SNMP entities

 How can we obtained this ID for each PAM appliance?

Resolution

WE can obtain via ssh to the appliance, as it is stored in snmpd.conf

Created an script that takes the /var/lib/snmp data (attached to this technical document)

Go to the PAM appliance 

 Configuration

 Diagnostics
   Diagnostic logs
     Download
      System log configuration file

           choose the script attached and open it

                      then press download

It will create a logs.bin file

After decrypting it, you will have the folder /var/lib/snmp
and the EngineID is in snmpd.conf file
