Overview

 

The Peer Management Center has basic support for SNMP messaging. SNMP notifications are set through the concept of "SNMP Notification Configurations" where a single configuration (consisting of a unique name, a selection of notification types along with a trap prefix and destination) can be applied to multiple file collaboration jobs without requiring repeat entry for each job. When an SNMP Notification configuration is applied to a job, a SNMP trap will be sent to the destination IP address or hostname anytime a selected notification type is triggered by the job

 

To mange these configurations, navigate to the Window menu of the Peer Management Center, select Preferences, then navigate to and select SNMP Notifications from the tree node on the left. The following screen represents the list of defined SNMP Notification configurations, along with buttons to add new ones and edit, copy and remove existing ones.

 

 

Upon adding or editing a SNMP Notification configuration, the following dialog is displayed:

 

 

Within this dialog, you can select specific triggers on which an SNMP trap will be generated, configure the source IP address over which the trap will be sent, set the destination host name, IP address, or broadcast address, set the prefix that is attached to every message (helping to identify messages coming from specific instances of the Peer Management Center or jobs across a network), and test the aforementioned settings. Notification types are listed below.
