NOTIFY_FILTER entry

Field definitions

profileName

Indicates the name of the filter profile defined by this entry. Valid values are 1–32 characters. There is no default value.

filterSubtree

Identifies the MIB subtree that, when combined with the corresponding filterMask, defines a family of subtrees which are included in or excluded from the filter profile. Valid values are an object ID of up to 128 sub-OIDs or a textual object name (or object prefix). There is no default value.

filterMask

Indicates the bit mask that, in combination with the corresponding filterSubtree, defines a family of subtrees that are included in or excluded from the filter profile. See RFC 2573 for a definition of the viewMask. Valid values are a hex string of up to 16 octets (up to 128 bits). Each bit indicates whether or not the corresponding subtree sub-OID is relevant, or a dash (-) to indicate the default value (a mask of all ones meaning that all sub-OIDs are relevant). inform indicates a confirmed notification (for example, notification sent with inform PDUs).

filterType

Indicates whether the family of filter subtrees defined by this entry are included in or excluded from a filter. Valid values are included to indicate the MIB objects identified by this definition are within the filter, excluded to indicate the MIB objects identified by this definition are excluded from the filter, or a dash (-) to indicate the default value of included.

storageType

Indicates the type of storage in which this definition is to be maintained. Storage types are defined in RFC 1903. Note that the value of volatile is not supported in the SNMPD.CONF file. Valid values are:

nonVolatile

Indicates the entry definition persists across reboots of the SNMP agent, but it can, however, be changed or even deleted by dynamic configuration requests.

permanent

Indicates the entry definition persists across reboots of the SNMP agent; it can be changed but not deleted by dynamic configuration requests.

readonly

Indicates the entry definition persists across reboots of the SNMP agent; it cannot be changed or deleted by dynamic configuration requests.

dash (-)

Indicates the default value of nonVolatile.
