VarBinds File - Specify the name and location (on ProactiveServer) of the file detailing OID variable binding descriptions.Port - Specify the port on which the system receives traps.BMC ProactiveNet Analytics recommends that the target IP and the IP address of the device where the monitor is being created be the same. This field value is used only when the control attribute Device Associated is activated. This field is used only when Device Association has been activated. Target IP/Host Name - Specify the name/IP address of the machine from which the traps will be received.Source Agent - Select the agent that listens for traps.Deleting a Tag Value on Enter Tag Details screen: Select a tag value and click Delete, click Yes to delete the tag value.Make the necessary modifications in Tag Value text box and click Set to add the changes. Editing Tag Value on Enter Tag Details screen: Select a tag value and click Edit.You cannot enter special characters &"/' in the tag field. The tag specified by you is not considered as a default class. Select Tag Class from the drop-down list and enter a tag value, click Add to append tag class and value. Click the icon + to select a default tag class. This gives you the option to group objects in different forms. You can enter multiple name-value pairs, text, or include both (name-value pair and text). Tag - Specify tag value to search or group the objects.This is displayed on folders, graphs, lists, etc. Instance Name - Specify a name for the monitor instance.This is just a count the actual traps are available to the system immediately. Traps Received (#) - Number of traps received during the last polling interval. In both cases, the alarm/event must be closed manually. Traps are imported into BMC ProactiveNet Analytics system as alarms or events.
However, BMC ProactiveNet Analytics recommends use of the local ProactiveAgent (assuming there is no requirement to receive traps in a different network). One monitor instance can be configured for the entire system and run on any agent. Unlike the synchronous data poll (of other monitors), these monitors receive and import traps in an asynchronous manner. SNMP Trap Receiver Monitors are different from most monitors. BMC ProactiveNet Analytics correlates SNMP traps to alarms via probable cause correlation. ProactiveAgents' capability to receive SNMP traps enhances its ability to integrate with other monitoring tools, and augments the existing SNMP monitoring capability of the agents.
