Local Versus Remote Installation

You can install the Trap Manager on the same computer as Event Management or on a different computer. With a local installation, all of the Trap Manager features are available. If you install on a different computer, the Trap Manager can connect to the database remotely however, the Trap daemon and filter management features will not function. The table that follows explains the differences between local and remote installation.
