RE: [SA-list] SNMP Checks

Normally you are querying for values(cpu, memory, packets, etc) using OIDs.  SA has great support for this and you'll find this more useful than traps.   You set traps up on the device(server, router) to be sent to your monitoring station when a specific event happens.  SA can recieve traps and display them but not take any action.      -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted Mosher Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 7:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] SNMP Checks Thanks Kevin I will look at those sites. I am confused by the ability to send traps and monitoring OID. I understand that SA 4 will be able to accept traps – how would you configure a monitor for this if you don’t use the OID? Is there a method that I missed in the SA screens?   -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Stone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 3:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] SNMP Checks   Go to http://www.wtcs.org/snmp4tpc/, browse through the info and get a copy of GetIf.  This will let you walk the SNMP tree for your devices.  There are two sites I use to get SNMP info - http://www.somix.com/support/mib_resources.php and http://www.mibdepot.com/index.shtml.   Once you have the OID you want to monitor use Getif to find it and whether or not it has a value.  Not all will actually return values.  BackupExec, at least the last version I looked at, only supports sending traps not monitoring via OID.     -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted Mosher Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] SNMP Checks Does anyone know any good documentation for SNMP or is there any more documentation on SA’s monitoring of it  – I want to just watch a few items on a Compaq server (Power Supply and RAID controller and Backup Exec and I have some OID’s but cannot seem to get anything to work.   Ted Mosher Partner Aztech Consulting Group, LLC www.aztechgroup.com
