I have the SNMP Trap Viewer configured to send an email alert when receiving trap OIDs "IF-MIB:linkDown" and "IF-MIB:linkUp" from certain community strings. This works well, but I'm looking for a variable that returns the actual name of the interface that the trap is reporting on. Here's an example of the trap output:
IF-MIB:linkDown SNMP Trap
Received Time:5/19/2019 10:30:00 AM
Source:192.168.230.70(192.168.230.70)
Community: CommunityString
Variable Bindings
sysUpTime:= 12 days 2 hours 44 minutes 39.81 seconds (104667981)
snmpTrapOID:= IF-MIB:linkDown (1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3)
ifIndex.54:= 54
ifAdminStatus.54:= up(1) (1)
ifOperStatus.54:= down(2) (2)
On some devices, the trap returns a vbData variable that shows the name of the interface, but this isn't always present. I'm not sure I could this as a solution for all of my nodes given that the "ifName" isn't always returned.
IF-MIB:linkDown SNMP Trap

sysUpTime:= 50 days 14 hours 40 minutes 35.16 seconds (437283516)
snmpTrapOID:= IF-MIB:linkDown (1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.3)
ifIndex.1542:= 1542
ifAdminStatus.1542:= down(2) (2)
ifOperStatus.1542:= down(2) (2)
ifName.1542:= xe-1/2/4
Here's how the interface in the first example looks in NPM. The Index value is shown, and matches what is given in the trap. If I could find a way to return the value in the name field, that would be ideal.
So far, I've tried the following without any luck:
${Interface.Name}
${InterfaceName}
${Interface.Alias}
${InterfaceAlias}
${Interface.Description}
${InterfaceDescription}
${NetObjectName}
I think I'm missing something simple. Is there a reference of variables that might help, or does anyone know of a variable that I could use? Thanks for the help.
