<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p>
<ul>
+ <li><strong>transport </strong>(This parameter is optional, the
+ default value is "udp")<br>
+ <br>
+ Defines the transport type you wish to use. Technically we can support all
+ transport types which are supported by NET-SNMP. <br>
+ To name a few possible values: <br>
+ <br>
+ udp, tcp, udp6, tcp6, icmp, icmp6 ...<br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>transport udp<br>
+ </strong></li>
+ <li><strong>server</strong><br>
+ <br>
+ This can be a hostname or ip address, and is our snmp target host. This
+ parameter is required, if the snmptarget is not defined, nothing will be
+ send. <br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>server server.domain.xxx</strong><br>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>port </strong>(This parameter is optional, the
+ default value is "162")<br>
+ <br>
+ The port which will be used, common values are port 162 or 161. <br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>port 162</strong><br>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>version </strong>(This parameter is optional, the
+ default value is "1")<br>
+ <br>
+ There can only be two choices for this parameter for now. <br>
+ 0 means SNMPv1 will be used.<br>
+ 1 means SNMPv2c will be used. <br>
+ Any other value will default to 1. <br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>version 1</strong><br>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>community </strong>(This parameter is optional, the
+ default value is "public")<br>
+ <br>
+ This sets the used SNMP Community.<br>
+ <br>
+ Example:<strong> community public<br>
+ </strong><br>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>trapoid </strong>(This parameter is
+ optional, the default value is "1.3.6.1.4.1.19406.1.2.1&quot; which means
+ &quot;ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB::syslogtrap&quot;)<br>
+ This configuration parameter is used for <strong>SNMPv2</strong> only.<br>
+ <br>
+ This is the OID which defines the trap-type, or notifcation-type rsyslog
+ uses to send the trap. <br>
+ In order to decode this OID, you will need to have the
+ ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB and ADISCON-MIB mibs installed on the receiver side. Downloads of these mib files
+ can be found here: <br>
+ <a href="http://www.adiscon.org/download/ADISCON-MIB.txt">

+ <a href="http://www.adiscon.org/download/ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB.txt">
+ http://www.adiscon.org/download/ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB.txt</a><br>
+ <br>
+ Thanks to the net-snmp
+ mailinglist for the help and the recommendations ;).<br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>trapoid 1.3.6.1.4.1.19406.1.2.1<br>
+ </strong>If you have this MIBS installed, you can also configured with the
+ OID Name: <strong>trapoid ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB::syslogtrap<br>
+ </strong>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>messageoid </strong>(This parameter is
+ optional, the default value is "1.3.6.1.4.1.19406.1.1.2.1&quot; which means
+ &quot;ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB::syslogMsg&quot;)<br>
+ <br>
+ This OID will be used as a variable, type &quot;OCTET STRING&quot;. This variable will
+ contain up to 255 characters of the original syslog message including syslog header. It is recommend to
+ use the default OID. <br>
+ In order to decode this OID, you will need to have the
+ ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB and ADISCON-MIB mibs installed on the receiver side.
+ To download these custom mibs, see the description of <strong>$actionsnmptrapoid.
+ </strong><br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>messageoid 1.3.6.1.4.1.19406.1.1.2.1<br>
+ </strong>If you have this MIBS installed, you can also configured with the
+ OID Name: <strong>messageoid
+ ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB::syslogMsg<br>
+ </strong><br>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>enterpriseoid </strong>(This parameter is optional,
+ the default value is "1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1" which means "enterprises.cmu.1.1")<br>
+ <br>
+ Customize this value if needed. I recommend to use the default value unless
+ you require to use a different OID. <br>
+ This configuration parameter is used for <strong>SNMPv1</strong> only. It
+ has no effect if <strong>SNMPv2</strong> is used. <br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>enterpriseoid 1.3.6.1.4.1.3.1.1 <br>
+ </strong><br>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>specifictype </strong>(This parameter is optional,
+ the default value is "0")<strong> </strong><br>
+ <br>
+ This is the specific trap number. This configuration parameter is used for
+ <strong>SNMPv1</strong> only. It has no effect if <strong>SNMPv2</strong> is
+ used. <br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>specifictype 0<br>
+ </strong><br>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>traptype</strong> (This parameter is optional, the
+ default value is "6" which means SNMP_TRAP_ENTERPRISESPECIFIC) <br>
+ <br>
+ There are only 7 Possible trap types defined which can be used here. These
+ trap types are: <br>
+ 0 = SNMP_TRAP_COLDSTART<br>
+ 1 = SNMP_TRAP_WARMSTART<br>
+ 2 = SNMP_TRAP_LINKDOWN<br>
+ 3 = SNMP_TRAP_LINKUP<br>
+ 4 = SNMP_TRAP_AUTHFAIL<br>
+ 5 = SNMP_TRAP_EGPNEIGHBORLOSS<br>
+ 6 = SNMP_TRAP_ENTERPRISESPECIFIC<br>
+ <br>
+ Any other value will default to 6 automatically. This configuration
+ parameter is used for <strong>SNMPv1</strong> only. It has no effect if
+ <strong>SNMPv2</strong> is used. <br>
+ <br>
+ Example: <strong>traptype 6</strong><br>
+ </li>
+ <li><strong>template </strong>[templateName]<strong> </strong><br>
+ <br>
+ sets a new default template for file actions.
+ </li>
