Question about traps

[Bettendorf, Cristian]

Hi,

sorry again, but I don't understand how to fill the parameters in this case,
I don't know the row oid, the only one thing I know is that the table was
changed and of course the oid of the column objects...but this don't help...

you can use the variables oid, my_row, my_table to get all necessary
information. To fill the Vbx array, you can use the get_value() method
of any MibLeaf object.

This depends on the definition of the trap. You can define that only
some static vbs that identify the agent, a whole row or only the changed
entry has to be sent to the manager. The vbs array can even be empty
like in the static_table example.
