SNMP Notifications

When you create a job, you can select an existing SMNP notification to apply to the job or you can create a new notification and apply it to the job.  You cannot edit or delete an SMNP notification while it is applied to a job.  See SMNP Notifications in the Basic Concepts section for more information about SMNP notifications.

To create an SMNP notification:

1.From the Window menu, select Preferences.

2.Expand Cloud Backup and Replication in the navigation tree, and then select SNMP Notifications.

The existing SNMP notifications are listed in the SNMP Notifications table.
