SNMP Traps mib

a_chiaravalle-m — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 09:16:17 GMT

Hi Team

I installed the SNMP Traps extension and uploaded specific mib files in this directory (also restarted the AG):

/var/lib/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/agent/conf/userdata/mib-files-custom

but when I sent a trap for testing, in Dynatrace logs I see the snmp varbind OID :

and not the OID Name as reported in the mib file (alertID, type, severity, ...):

did I missed something?

Thanks

Antonello

@a_chiaravalle-m ,

The SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID that you show will always be in number format.

The complete name of the trap OID is named snmp.trap_oid, and should appear slightly above, as in the example below (for another type of trap). I have a very big use case of traps, ~100 custom MIBs, and it has worked flawlessly with me.

BTW, I was not able to find that particular MIB freely available. We do know it is from IBM, but was not able to find it online...

you can get the MIB from here:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/software-hub/5.1.x?topic=alerting-configuring-snmp-alerts

this mib is related to IBM Cloud Pak for Data

Thanks
