Configuring the SNMP settings
You can configure DS-Client to send SNMP traps when a backup has completed successfully, completed with warnings, completed with errors, or is incomplete.
An SNMP trap will be sent once, immediately after each backup activity finishes. The DS‑Client can also be configured to send a special trap as a heartbeat signal to determine if the monitored service is running normally.
NOTE: To receive SNMP traps sent by the 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.
To configure the SNMP settings:
1. On the Setup menu, click Configuration.
2. Click the SNMP tab.
3. In the Community box, type a community name, and then click Add to list.
NOTE: Communities are groups of hosts to which a server running the SNMP service belongs. The community name is placed in the SNMP packet when the trap is sent.
4. Under Destination host list, do one of the following:
• To add a destination host to the community, click Add.
• To modify a destination host, select the destination host, and then click Edit.
NOTE: To delete a destination host, select the destination host, and then click Remove.
5. Type a host name or IP address from your network, and then click OK.
6. Continue to add the required destination hosts to the community as required.
7. To send SNMP traps as heartbeats, select the Send traps as heartbeats every check box, and then specify the frequency at which traps should be sent.
8. Click OK.
