Description

The default value means “ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB::syslogtrap”.

This configuration parameter is used for SNMPv2 only. This is the OID which defines the trap-type, or notification-type rsyslog uses to send the trap. In order to decode this OID, you will need to have the ADISCON-MONITORWARE-MIB and ADISCON-MIB mibs installed on the receiver side. Downloads of these mib files can be found here:
