Monitoring System Activity
Configuring SNMP
Select Basic Config -> SNMP Configuration on the menu to configure SNMP.
• Send Trap on Reboot — Enable the check box to send a trap message to your SNMP trap host
whenever the system reboots.
• System Contact — (Required) Enter the email address of the contact person for this system.
• System Location — (Required) Enter the location of the system.
• Read-Only Community — By default, ePrism does not allow read/write access to the SNMP
agent. For read access, you must set up a read-only community string on both the agent, and
your SNMP management application for authentication. It is recommended that you change the
default community string "public" to a more secure value.
Note: The community string is case sensitive.
Permitted Clients
To allow access to ePrism’s SNMP agent, you must specifically add the client system to the list of
SNMP Permitted Clients. The clients can be specified using a host name, IP address, or network
address (192.168.138.0/24). Typically, you will enter the address of your SNMP management
station, such as an HP Openview system. Click Add to add the permitted client.
