Assure1 Trap Collector microservice

Overview

The Assure1 Trap Collector microservice is part of the microservice event pipeline. The Trap Collector is responsible for receiving SNMP traps, converting them into a JSON structure. The event structure includes the trap OID, varbinds, network socket information, and timestamp. By default, the output topic is for the fcom-processor.

Prerequisites

  1. A microservices cluster must be setup. Refer to Microservice Cluster Setup.

  2. Apache Pulsar must be installed. Refer to Apache Pulsar microservice.

Setup

su - assure1
export NAMESPACE=a1-zone1-pri
export WEBFQDN=<Primary Presentation Web FQDN> 
a1helm install trap-collector assure1/trap-collector -n $NAMESPACE --set global.imageRegistry=$WEBFQDN

Standard Multi-Server deployment and starts the microservice on a specific node:

su - assure1
export NAMESPACE=a1-zone1-pri
export WEBFQDN=<Primary Presentation Web FQDN>
export NODEFQDN=<Cluster Target Node FQDN>
a1helm install trap-collector assure1/trap-collector -n $NAMESPACE --set global.imageRegistry=$WEBFQDN --set nodeSelector."kubernetes\.io/hostname"=$NODEFQDN
