MonitorMagic supports SNMP Traps as an alarm action.
As an alarm action MonitorMagic can contact the Microsoft SNMP Service, and instruct it to create a SNMP trap containing as information a message string provided by MonitorMagic.
Explanation of SNMP Traps: SNMP provides the ability to send traps, or notifications, to advise an administration application when one or more conditions have been met. Traps are network packets that contain data relating to a component of the system sending the trap. Traps are generated when a condition has been met on the SNMP agent. After the condition has been met, the SNMP agent then forms an SNMP packet and sends it to UDP port 162. On Windows 2003, 2000 or NT, MonitorMagic, in combination with the standard SNMP service of Microsoft, is such an agent.
