Trap SNMP events in SCOM

Using the BIG-IP SCOM management pack, I would like to set up SCOM to capture SNMP traps sent by the BIG-IP. Ideally, I would like to capture an SNMP trap that is triggered by the LB_FAILED event. Is this possible?

    If you don't get a response here, you might try posting in the SCOM forum:

     

     

    Post your general questions about using the Managment Pack as well as input on how it can be enhanced.

    Not sure about SCOM, but you can send off an SNMP trap using custom alerts as described in SOL3727:

    https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/3000/700/sol3727.html (Click here

    To trigger the alert, just enable logging in the iRule which has the LB_FAILED event: 

     
 when LB_FAILED {  
    whatever your action is 
    log local0. "Client [IP::client_addr] has hit LB_FAILED" 
 }

    So then your custom alert would look something like: 

     
 alert LB_FAILED_NOTICE "Client (.*) has hit LB_FAILED" { sn 
 mptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.500" }

    That OID is made up as described in the SOL.
