MonitorMagic SNMP support
MonitorMagic supports SNMP in the following three ways:
SNMP trap alarm action: When a rule of a monitor is triggered, MonitorMagic can
execute an alarm action by sending a user defined SNMP trap. Normally the trap
destination is another monitoring - management package. The MonitorMagic service
sends the trap as defined by the monitor specification. See Introduction SNMP traps for
more information.
SNMP trap monitor: The MonitorMagic service can receive SNMP traps that are send
by other systems or processes. This is done by using a Snmp trap monitor. In this case,
somewhere in the network, a device, system or process generates and sends a SNMP
trap. The MonitorMagic service is the destination of the trap. MonitorMagic uses the
Snmp trap monitor to process the received trap. Once the trap is received by the
MonitorMagic service, rules can be applied and the MonitorMagic service can take further
action. See Snmp trap monitor: Overview for more information.
SNMP get monitor: MonitorMagic can retrieve information from any other device that
supports SNMP. MonitorMagic uses the Snmp get monitor to accomplish this task. In
this case, MonitorMagic has one or more Snmp get monitors defined. Each monitor
collects information from the SNMP host. This information is then used for further
processing by the MonitorMagic service. See Snmp get monitor - Overview for more
information.
SNMP Version support
Two version of SNMP exist: SNMP version 1 and SNMP version 2. MonitorMagic support SNMP
version 1.
