Administration > System > Notification > SNMP trap

Use this page to configure SNMP trap notification for your Performance Manager applications. The page displays the following items:

Item Description
SNMP trap destination hostname or IP-address The name of the computer or the IP-address to which messages are sent (the location of your SNMP database). For example MySNMPHost.MyDomain.
Port The number of the port you have configured in the SNMP trap software through which you will receive the message. You may use the default port number 162 as specified in the GUI as it is the standard port for SNMP trap messages.
Community The SNMP Community string is like a user ID or password that allows access to a router’s or other device’s statistics. Most equipment ships from the factory with the read-only community string of public. It is standard practice for network managers to change all community strings so that outsiders cannot see information about the internal network. If you need more information on the communities used in your organization, please consult your network administrator.
Check Sends a test SNMP trap message to the defined SNMP trap database.
