Logging SNMP Agent Actions

When the LSMS SNMP agent process starts, stops, or sends a trap request, it logs information about the action in a log file. The log file is named lsmsSNMP.log.<MMDD>, where <MMDD> represents the current month and day. The log file is stored in the directory /usr/TKLC/lsms/logs/snmp.

Table 1 shows the actions and information logged by the LSMS SNMP agent.
