The aws_sadmin service is responsible for sending SNMP traps to the distributed NSM machines. To achieve this goal, the aws_sadmin service must know the DNS name or IP address (and listener port) for the NSM machines. This information is stored within file aws_sadmin.cfg in directory $AGENTWORKS_DIR/services/config/aws_sadmin. You must update this file with the appropriate DNS names or IP addresses of your NSM machines. Be sure to preserve the non-displayable tab characters (x'05) contained within this file. These characters are used as field delimiters on the SNMP_TRAP lines.
The aws_sadmin.cfg file is also used to define the SNMP community strings for the aws_sadmin SNMP service. By default, these strings are set to public (for read access) and admin (for write access). If your site requires more secure SNMP community strings, these names can be changed to meet your needs. Again, be sure to preserve the non-displayable tab characters (x'05) contained within this file. These characters are also used as field delimiters on the SNMP_COMMUNITY lines. Also note that any change to the SNMP community strings must be reflected in the configuration of the NSM machines. Be sure to make your NSM administrator aware of these changes. Note that an agent can have its own community strings specified in a configuration set, which is unique to that agent and which overrides the default community strings specified in the aws_sadmin.cfg file.
