Does autosys logs SNMP Traps

Issue/Introduction

What log can we search on Autosys to see SNMP traps are sent to alerting system?

Environment

Release : 11.3.6, R12

Resolution

SNMP traps are sent via UDP, Since there is no client confirmation

Autosys does not have the ability to read the confirmations.

Use external tools like WireShark or command like tcpdump to capture the packets.

Example :

Run ifconfig -a to identify the network interface

eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1460
        inet 192.168.0.1  netmask 255.255.254.0  broadcast x.x.x.x
     

Then we can run the tcpdump as follows to see if the traps are being send from the scheduler

tcpdump -i eth0 -T snmp -n dst portrange 161-162
       

This will list all the traps that are being send and will isolate autosys out of the picture
