The Event connector can collect SNMP traps sent to the connector system. Where you install the connector does not matter, as long as you configure SNMP traps sources to send their traps to the connector system.
Note: SNMPv3 is not supported.
Before you begin collecting traps, the SNMP policy requires you to configure the port number in the administrative interface to receive all traps on the configured port.
For additional configuration, you must edit the SNMP source policy file directly to customize the policy to suit your environment. For more information about policy customization, see the CA Event Integration Product Guide.
After customization, you must add the snmp-src.xml file to the samevent catalog and redeploy the catalog for the connector to begin collecting traps and dispatching them to CA SOI.
Important! You must use the CA Catalyst connector for SNMP traps rather than the SNMP integration through the Event connector in most cases when you want to develop a custom trap-based Level 2 integration. In cases where you have written custom policy for SNMP trap collection from the Event connector, consider rewriting that policy for use with the SNMP connector. For more information about writing custom policy for the SNMP connector, see the SNMP Connector Guide.
