SNMP Notifications

Overview

The Peer Management Center provides support for SNMP v1 messaging.  A SNMP notification notifies recipients when a certain type of event occurs, for example, session abort, host failure, system alert.

When an SNMP notification is applied to a job, a SNMP trap is sent to the destination IP address or hostname whenever a selected notification type is triggered by the job.

An SMNP notification consists of a unique name, a selection of notification types, source IP address, along with a trap prefix and destination.  The available notification types depend on the job type.

When you create a job, you can select an existing SNMP notification to apply to the job or you can create a new notification and apply it to the job.  You cannot modify or delete a notification while it is applied to a job.  An SMNP notification can be applied to multiple jobs of the same type.  SNMP notifications are defined in the preferences for a job type.  An SNMP notification can be applied to all job types except File Locking and File Replication.
