Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere SNMP Extension Agent, User Manual

For example, setting the value of
asaAgent.asaProc
to the string
“
pchin.updatesales( ’param1’, 2)
” calls the updatesales stored
procedure owned by user pchin.
The way you set the value of this OID to the procedure name will depend on
your SNMP management software.

Using traps
A trap is an OID that is sent by an SNMP agent when a particular event
occurs. Traps are initiated by the SNMP agent and can be detected by
SNMP management software, which can then either deal with the event
directly or query the SNMP agent for more information.
In order to receive traps, you must configure the SNMP service. The SNMP
service will receive the trap information and then forward it on somewhere;
however, by default, this is nowhere, so any trap listeners you have running
will not detect anything. The following steps show how to configure your
SNMP Service to send traps to your current machine.
