MonitorMagic Implementation Guide
Version 1.0, October 2004
16. Applying SNMP policies
The snmp hosts are in place, so we can now apply SNMP policies to the hosts. Use the same method
as when using Windows policies to drag and drop the policy onto a SNMP host. This example uses the
generic SNMP policy “MonitorMagic – SNMP examples”, which can be activated on any Windows
server that runs the SNMP service. When applied, close the network browse tree on the right-hand
side of the screen to enlarge the client workspace. Scroll the monitor window all the way to the
bottom to inspect the newly added SNMP monitors.
Use this same mechanism to apply Compaq Insight Manager, Dell OpenManage, IBM Director,
or any of the Network devices policies. The APC PowerChute policy is also SNMP enabled. All these
policies have pre-configured rules and notification, so you don’t need to worry about any additional
configuration. The default settings should work fine in most circumstances.
