Configuring the SNMP settings
You can configure DS-Client to send SNMP traps for the following backup results:
• Successful
• Completed with warnings
• Completed with errors
• Incomplete
An SNMP trap will be sent once, immediately after each backup activity finishes.
In addition, DS‑Client can be configured to send a special trap as a heartbeat signal that determines if the monitored service is running normally.
NOTE: To receive traps sent by DS-Client, you must load the MIB (Management Information Base) file called asigra.mib file with your SNMP software. This file describes how the objects are organized and can be found in the DS-Client installation directory. The IANA Private Enterprise Number is 15538. For more information, see http://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers.

1. On the Setup menu, click Configuration. The DS-Client Configuration dialog box appears.
2. Click the SNMP tab.
3. In the Community box, specify a community name, and then click Add to list.

6. Continue to add the required destination host / IP addresses available in the community.
7. To send traps as heartbeats, select the Send traps as heartbeats every check box and specify the frequency at which the traps should be sent.
8. Click OK.
