Results SNMP allows you to:

- Store snmptraps exceptions and snmptraps traces into the runtime database.
- Update trace statuses in the snmptrapstrace table in the opsview database.
- Needs access to the Mysql Database to store data.
- Can be run independently or on the orchestrator server
- Input is from snmp-traps-exception-queue, which then inserts data into the runtime and opsview database.

## Dependencies

What is required to run:

- Access to database.
- opsview-messagequeue. 

Please make sure core-utils and Messagequeue are installed, configured and running before attempting to run the results-snmp process.

You will also need to ensure the `mysql` client binary is installed.

## Installation

Refer to [Advanced Automated Installation](https://docs.itrsgroup.com/docs/opsview/current/install/advanced-installation/index.html).

## Configuration

Config file location is `/opt/opsview/resultssnmp/etc/resultssnmp.defaults.yaml`

- `snmp_traps_exception_queue`: The message-queue configuration to receive SNMP trap messages.
- `runtime_database`: Configuration for the Opsview runtime database.
- `opsview_database`: Configuration for the Opsview configuration database.
- `registry`: Connection configuration for the Registry.
- `logging`: Component logging configuration.

## Management

### Configuration

#### DPKGs

Watchdog service files are now managed by the package, doing a remove would leave the watchdog service file behind with a .save extension. Purging the package will remove it. The package managed config files are as follows

```
/opt/opsview/watchdog/etc/services/opsview-resultssnmp.conf
```

#### RPMs

Watchdog service files are now managed by the package. Any modifications will be saved at upgrade and remove processes with the .rpmnew and .rpmsave extensions correspondingly.

```
/opt/opsview/watchdog/etc/services/opsview-resultssnmp.conf
```

### Service administration

As root, start, stop and restart the service using:

```
/opt/opsview/watchdog/bin/opsview-monit <start|stop|restart> opsview-resultssnmp
```
