Setting Mediator to Use the CentraSite SNMP Server

Setting Mediator to Use a Third-Party SNMP Server

Specifying the Events to Publish to SNMP Destination

Mediator can use SNMP traps to report run-time events and metrics to an SNMP server. You can use either or both of the following kinds of SNMP servers:

The CentraSite SNMP server, which uses the SNMPv3 user-based security model. To set this server as a destination, see Setting Mediator to Use the CentraSite SNMP Server.

A third-party SNMP server. You can set Mediator to use either the SNMPv1 community-based security model (the default), or the SNMPv3 user-based security model. To set this server as a destination, see Setting Mediator to Use a Third-Party SNMP Server.

In addition, you must specify the events types you want to publish as described in Specifying the Events to Publish to SNMP Destination and configure the Target Name in the CentraSite Communication page as described in Configuring Communication with CentraSite. Mediator sends the events to the SNMP server along with information on the target(s). If no target is configured for an event, the event is persisted in the CentraSite database with the target key value unknown.

Note:

Alternatively, instead of using an SNMP server to publish the events and metrics, you can use EDA (see EDA/Database Configuration for Publishing Run-Time Events and Metrics).
