Hi InterMapper experts! I am currently using InterMapper to map out devices which have the architecture below:
InterMapper --> Master Device (1) --> Slave Devices (100s to thousands!) There can be hundreds to thousands slave-devices. Some of these slave devices are temperature and humidity sensors, which make sense to use the poll-method. Others are event driven devices such as dry-contact and motion sensors. The event-driven devices are where I am having issue. I can create an SNMP trap to InterMapper, however, because all the device have a single IP address, all of them will receive the SNMP message. This is an issue, for example I have to binary (open/close) event device A and B and an alarm occurs when it is in open state: Let's start with both A and B in closed state hence no alarm. - When A opens, traps sent to both A and B. Only A gets an alarm. - When B opens, traps send to both A and B. B gets an alarm, but A's alarm will get reset! I can use the custom-snmp probe which will cause a query again, but with thousands of devices to a single IP, I will trigger thousands of SNMP query every time an event occurs. Any design ideas where I can over-come this hurdle? For example, is there a way where I can "hook" into InterMapper's dispatching mechanism, i.e. when it receives a trap, instead of sending it to all probes on all map with the right IP address, I can add some logic where it must match some other probe parameters? Thank you very much for your suggestions! Regards, Leonard Siu Quantum Data Systems (H.K.)
