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 modify 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 File Collab, Repl, Sync, and Locking in the navigation tree, and then select SNMP Notifications.

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

5.In the Destination field, enter the destination host name, IP address, or broadcast address.

6.In the Trap Prefix field, enter a prefix that will help to identify whether the message is coming from different instances of the Peer Management Center or from different jobs.

7.For Notification Types, select the types of events that will trigger the generation of an SNMP trap:

Session Stop
