The SNMP Trap Receiver Sensor lets you analyze traps and filter them according to date, source, agents, bindings, and more. PRTG saves incoming trap messages as regular system files, and neatly displays them in the sensor. If the trap contains a value, you can edit the threshold value when necessary. Inspect traps with the SNMP Trap Receiver Sensor from PRTG. Select the Enable trap option to enable the trap or clear it to disable the trap. Select the trap from the list and click Edit. The trap details, including the monitored object, Trap OID and description, show. The SNMP Trap Configuration window opens. In the list of SNMP traps, double-click the name of the trap. These traps are on by default when SNMP traps are enabled and cannot be individually turned off or configured by the user. SNMP traps for hardware sensors provide information on whether the sensor values are within their thresholds.
If a tunnel is detected as down, an SNMP trap is sent to the user. When the feature is enabled, the VPN tunnels status is periodically checked. Currently, only VPN tunnels configured as Permanent Tunnels are monitored. The SNMP Trapsending alert on a receive trap (trap forwarder) will. For this specific trap, users are alerted when VPN tunnels go down. The DENY list for the SNMP TRAPRECEIVER only checked it against the SNMP AGENT IP address. SNMP trap for VPN tunnels provides better monitoring of VPN tunnel status. Prerequisites: SNMP and SNMP traps must be enabled on the appliance. The enabled traps are sent to the configured trap receivers. You can enable or disable specified traps from the list and for some traps set a threshold value. Select the trap receiver from the list and click Delete. Select the trap receiver from the list and click Edit. In the Add SNMP Traps Receiver window, enter the IP address.įor a v2 trap receiver, enter the community name.įor a v3 trap receiver, enter the name of the defined SNMP v3 user. The trap receiver properties must be configured before a trap is sent. SNMP trap receivers receive the alert messages. To delete an SNMP v3 user, select the user from the list and click Delete. To edit an existing SNMP v3 user, select the user from the list and click Edit. You can enable SNMP traps, configure system location and contact details, and enable SNMP versions in addition to v3. The Configure SNMP General Settings window opens. SNMP must be set to ON to configure all SNMP settings (users, traps, and trap receivers).Ĭhange the SNMP On/Off slider position to ON or OFF. In the Logs & Monitoring > SNMP page you can do these actions:Ĭonfigure SNMP settings (system location, system contact, and community string for SNMP v1 and v2 authentication)Ĭonfigure the settings for SNMP trap receiversĮnable or disable SNMP traps that are sent to the trap receivers SNMP trap receivers are configured to receive the alerts. SNMP traps are alert messages sent as a result of monitoring conditions.
SNMP is a protocol for sending data and is used for monitoring.
