Configure settings to send notifications to an SNMP manager
The state of the network can be monitored through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP collects information by polling devices on the network or SNMP enabled devices send alerts to SNMP management stations. SNMP communities define the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to, which specifies where information is sent. The community name identifies the group.
Note: | Most organizations have an established system for collecting and displaying SNMP traps in a central location that can be monitored by their operations teams. For example, SNMP traps are sent to an SNMP manager, and the SNMP management console displays them. |
Download the ExtraHop SNMP MIB
SNMP does not provide a database of information that an SNMP-monitored network reports. SNMP information is defined by third-party management information bases (MIBs) that describe the structure of the collected data.
Extract the ExtraHop vendor object OID
Before you can monitor a device with SNMP, you need the sysObjectID, which contains an OID that is the vendor-reported identity of the device.
