NimbostratusCustom SNMP Trap Message
I have configured a custom SNMP trap on our BIG-IP:
alert BIGIP_CUSTOM_TEST "testing notification" {
snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.1.1.110.200"
}
When I catch the SNMP trap, it doesn't have the log message in it. It just contains the OID for the trap. This is different than the built-in SNMP traps. For example, when a pool member is forced down by an iRule (via LB::down), a trap is sent out with a nice message in it ("Pool member x.x.x.x:xxxx monitor status iRule down.").
Is there some way to configure a custom SNMP trap to send the log message along with the trap?

Jeremy_Bridges_I opened a case with F5 and found my answer. The OID I picked was designed for 4.x BIG-IP devices. If I use something in the form of 1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.XXX, all SNMP traps started showing the full message from the logs:alert BIGIP_CUSTOM_TEST "testing notification" { snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.200" }
My mistake was using the wrong document to set up the traps. Here is the document I initially used:

Here is the one I should have used:
