MonitorMagic service
The MonitorMagic service that will generate the trap.
Note: If you press Send SNMP trap and get a succesfull response, this means that the
MonitorMagic service was able to generate a SNMP trap and deliver the trap to the Microsoft
SNMP service running on the same computer. This does not guarantee that the trap is receievd
by another SNMP management application.

Checklist MonitorMagic SNMP traps.
Verify that the Microsoft's SNMP service is installed and running on the machine ( see
Requirements SNMP traps) before configuring MonitorMagic.
Verify that in the SNMP service configuration, the computer that runs your SNMP
management application is configured as destination for the traps. ( see Requirements
SNMP traps) Test this by stopping and starting the SNMP Service on the computer
running the MonitorMagic service. On startup the SNMP service will generate a trap that
indicates its startup, and this should be detected by your SNMP manager.
Note that for your SNMP management program to receive traps, it may be required that
the SNMP trap service is running on the computer that runs the SNMP management
program. See the documentation with your SNMP management program if this service
must or must not be running. The SNMP trap service is installed automatically when you
install the SNMP service, but can be run independently. The SNMP trap service is not
required for MonitorMagic to generate traps.
Make sure you have once configured the MonitorMagic service to use SNMP (see
Configure MonitorMagic SNMP traps). During this process, the MonitorMagic service will
automatically create a registry value, and stop and restart the SNMP service.
