Win RMA Agent and SNMP traps

Post by timf »

Hi , I have been trying to get some of our Win RMA agent recieving SNMP traps. Is this feature available, I seem to be having trouble.

I can see you can do it with Hostmon, but not sure if you can do this with the RMA agent ?

Sorry, RMA cannot support SNMP Traps. Please, take a look at the following article for more information: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/index-tests.htm

Yes, you may setup a "SNMP Trap" test to make HostMonitor recieve traps: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#snmptrap
Actually, I do not see any reason to use RMA for listening traps. Even if target system is behind the firewall, most of firewalls allows outgoing packets, like SNMP Traps, so you may use HostMonitor itself.
