SNMP traps - McAfee ePO

Post by billy_strath »

I saw the previous post about SNMP for ilo, which directed us to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstas ... ptrap.html
I'm looking to get some traps our from McAfee ePO. Things seems a bit more complicated, with protocols and passphrases. Anyone know how to configure to send to LogServer?

Do you have an option to use snmpv1 or 2? Currently v3 isn't an option for logstash:

yes there is a v2 option - so that only requires the public string then does it?

Yes, v2 would only require the community string

if you wanted to use SNMPv3.....

you could still absorb the SNMP traps though by using snmptrapd, configure it to listen and setup a SNMPv3 user / engine, and then have logstash ingest the local file.

a little bit more configuration, but it'll work.
