SNMP4j Trap Severity

How can I set a trap severity?

Code below

TransportMapping transport = new DefaultUdpTransportMapping();
    Snmp snmp = new Snmp(transport);

    CommunityTarget localtarget = new CommunityTarget();
    localtarget.setCommunity(new OctetString("public"));
    localtarget.setAddress(new UdpAddress(managerIpAdd + "/162"));
    localtarget.setVersion(SnmpConstants.version2c);
    localtarget.setRetries(3);
    localtarget.setTimeout(2000);

    PDU pdu = new PDU();

    // need to specify the system up time
    pdu.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.sysUpTime, new OctetString(new Date().toString())));
    pdu.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.snmpTrapOID, targetOID));
    pdu.add(new VariableBinding(SnmpConstants.snmpTrapAddress, new IpAddress(ApplicationUtil.getMachineIpAddress())));

    // variable binding for Enterprise Specific objects, Severity (should be defined in MIB file)
    pdu.add(new VariableBinding(targetOID, new OctetString(message)));        

    pdu.setType(PDU.TRAP);

    snmp.send(pdu, localtarget);

    snmp.close();

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. So what's your saying is that every SNMP manager has their own MIB to specify the severity of the traps?

I was talking about the agent, not the manager. The agent can either have a proprietary MIB or not support the idea of severity at all.The manager can choose to accept the severity assigned by the agent, assign it's own, or ignore it altogether. There are no standards for how it's done.
