SNMP Trap Generator using SNMP4J

This project is set up as a maven project where snmp4j library is mentioned as a dependency.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.snmp4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>snmp4j</artifactId>
    <version>1.10.1</version>
</dependency>

This program will send SNMPv2 Trap message to any ip address mentioned. A SNMP Trap receiver program or application which is listening on port 162 would be able to receive the message.

 import java.io.IOException;  
 import org.snmp4j.CommunityTarget;  
 import org.snmp4j.PDU;  
 import org.snmp4j.Snmp;  
 import org.snmp4j.mp.SnmpConstants;  
 import org.snmp4j.smi.Address;  
 import org.snmp4j.smi.OID;  
 import org.snmp4j.smi.OctetString;  
 import org.snmp4j.smi.TimeTicks;  
 import org.snmp4j.smi.UdpAddress;  
 import org.snmp4j.smi.Variable;  
 import org.snmp4j.smi.VariableBinding;  
 import org.snmp4j.transport.DefaultUdpTransportMapping;  
 public class TrapGenerator {  
      /**  
       * @param args  
       * @throws IOException   
       */  
      public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {  
           // Create PDU using SNMP4J       
         PDU trap = new PDU();  
         trap.setType(PDU.TRAP);  
         //Give some OID as it doesn't matter in this example  
         OID oid = new OID("1.3.6.1.2.1.1");  
         trap.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.snmpTrapOID, oid));  
         trap.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.sysUpTime, new TimeTicks(1000)));  
         trap.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.sysDescr, new OctetString("My PC Windows 7 8GB RAM ")));   
         //Add Payload - here add your data  
         Variable var = new OctetString("My system is in trouble");       
         trap.add(new VariableBinding(oid, var));       
         // Specify receiver  
         Address targetaddress = new UdpAddress("144.158.6.59/162");  
         CommunityTarget target = new CommunityTarget();  
         target.setCommunity(new OctetString("public"));  
         target.setVersion(SnmpConstants.version2c);  
         target.setAddress(targetaddress);  
         // Send Trap to the address mentioned  
         Snmp snmp = new Snmp(new DefaultUdpTransportMapping());  
         snmp.send(trap, target, null, null);       
      }  
 } 

 To test this program I have downloaded Trapreceiver application from http://www.trapreceiver.com/ and this application captures Trap messages on the system where it runs.

Open TrapReceiver and then run the Java program. You will see Trap message as below.

Hope this helps.

How to create a minikube single node cluster for learning Kubernetes

In this post I will explain how to setup a minikube single node kubernetes cluster using AWS EC2 instance which would help anyone who is trying to learn kubernetes and also help them to gain practical knowledge in kubernetes by running kubernetes commands, creating kubernetes objects etc. Minikube is a single node kubernetes cluster which means a kubernetes cluster with only one node that is a single VM. Minikube is only used for learning purposes and it is not an alternative for a real kubernetes cluster and should not be used for development and production usage. In this example I have launched an AWS EC2 instance with below configuration where I will install minikube and related tools. AWS EC2 Instance Configuration AMI: Ubuntu Free tier eligible 64 bit Instance type : t2-large ( For me t2-small or t2-micro is giving performance issues due to less memory) Once the EC2 instance is up and running, login to the instance using below command on terminal. If you are using wi

log4j - How to write log to multiple log files using log4j.properties

In Java applications some times you may need to write your log messages to specific log files with its own specific log properties. If you are using log4j internally then first step that you need to do is to have a proper log4j.properties file. Below example shows 2 log4j appenders which write to 2 different log files, one is a debug log and another one is a reports log. Debug log file can have all log messages and reports log can have log messages specific to reporting on say splunk monitoring. # Root logger option log4j.rootLogger=ALL,STDOUT,debugLog log4j.logger.reportsLogger=INFO,reportsLog log4j.additivity.reportsLogger=false     log4j.appender.STDOUT=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender log4j.appender.STDOUT.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout log4j.appender.STDOUT.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %C:%L - %m%n     # Direct log messages to a log file log4j.appender.debugLog=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.debugLo
