User Guide

Additional setup 81
This node contains the following groups:
• сonfig – application configuration parameters, including groups
configuration, divided into sections as in configuration files.
• stats – statistical information about processed messages, resources in
use and detected viruses.
• update – application update information.
• admin – administrative information (application start time, errors etc.).
To get parameter values for objects in the config.Groups section, use
the Walk method instead of Get.
The Administrator can also set the application to send SNMP-traps in case of
specific events. The SNMPTraps parameter, in the [kavmilter.snmp] section of
the kavmilter.conf configuration file, determines the events which should trigger
the sending of SNMP traps by the application. The possible values are:
сonfig – a SNMP-trap is sent when the configuration or the databases
are reloaded (ConfigReloaded trap and BasesReloaded trap).
admin – a SNMP-trap is sent when the application starts or stops
(ProductStart trap, ProductStop trap) or has a fatal error
(ProductError trap). Additionally, if the AlertThreshold parameter
value is not set to zero, an SNMP-trap will be sent if the percentage
of infected messages found during the last hour exceeds the
specified value (OutbreakAlert trap). An OutbreakAlert trap will be
sent every hour since the threshold was exceeded until the
percentage of infected messages falls below the defined limit.
update – a SNMP-trap is sent when the application update is performed
(UpdateStatus trap) or the anti-virus database is older than five
days (ObsoleteBases trap).
all – SNMP-trap is sent when any of the above described events
occurs.
none – no SNMP-traps are sent.
If you use NET-SNMP master agent, you should start snmptrapd
daemon to receive traps.
