This alert is useful for integrating ipMonitor into your enterprise's existing network management software. Its duty is to send the Alert text to an SNMP manager, where it is analyzed by string pattern matching rules.

A simple way to configure the SNMP trap is to send a "link down" message for failures, and a "link up" message for recoveries.

The default SNMP Object ID is the is the "system" object from MIB-II (RFC 1213):
1.3.6.1.2.1.1

Note:
If you are using this alert with HP Openview, use the following SNMP Object ID (oid):
1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.17.1

If you aren't receiving traps, you may have to input the SNMP Object ID preferred by the management software. For more details, either contact the author of the Management software, or DeepMetrix Technical Support. support@deepmetrix.com
