The agent supports a built-in SNMP manager capability. You can enable the agent to act as an SNMP manager to emit and listen for SNMP traps in addition to its other roles. The agent supports SNMP v1, v2, and v3. After the agent is configured, you can define and run SNMP job types on the agent.
Note: To run these jobs, your system requires CA WA Agent for UNIX, Linux, or Windows.
You can define the following types of SNMP jobs:
Waits for an event to occur on a port. Using filters, you can trigger your policies according to the device that raised the event or the enterprise, generic, or specific identifiers of the SNMP trap. You can use the SNMP Subscribe job to monitor a network device for critical errors and automatically create a trouble ticket and perform level 1 diagnostics on the device.
Raises an SNMP event that can be detected by a network systems manager application. You can use the SNMP Trap Send job to create events for policies that need to be tracked using an SNMP monitoring product.
Queries a network device for the value of a variable that is assigned to a Management Information Base (MIB) address. You can use the SNMP Value Get job to retrieve information about a network device to determine whether an administrator needs to be notified.
Modifies a variable on a network device. The variable is assigned to the MIB address that you specify. You can use the SNMP Value Set job to update a variable that reports on the failure or success of a mission-critical policy.
