SNMP Trap Receiver

Description

This service profile includes the service checks necessary to process incoming SNMP traps from remote servers within GroundWork Monitor. Note that this functionality has been disabled in GroundWork 8.x, and requires a solution involving some extra configuration steps to work. If you need this capability, please contact GroundWork Support for instructions and a package of additional free open source software. 

Profile Package

This package includes the following files:

  • Profile definitions: host-profile-snmp-traps.xml

Installation

GroundWork Monitor includes many monitoring profiles for a variety of devices, systems and applications. Some profiles are pre-imported on a new GroundWork installation and others are distributed with the product. The configuration tool is used to import updated profiles and profiles that require additional setup, services can also be imported, see Importing Profiles.
