Getting Alerts from machines not managed

OK I'm still getting them. I removed my OME IP from all the SNMP settings on these servers and I selected ignore on all servers for the auth fail. I cannot restart SNMP right now so I'm hoping that that is the issue now.

Hi there,

So you are getting traps in the OME alert console from systems that you are not intending to manage?

Are these MNs configured to point SNMP alerts at the OME server?  You should only be getting alerts from devices that have pointed the SNMP traps to the OME server.

If you right-click ignore on the alert does this help?

More info on these maybe in the FAQ #10.2.

thanks!

Removed OME IP from traps on servers throwing alarms thanks

any system that has Authentication traps enabled WILL send a trap to its "trap destination" when a community string that is not in its accapted community list is recieved by that system.  

see: technet.microsoft.com/.../cc959663.aspx

you have many choices to fix it.  

1) add the community name that is being queried on the target to the acceptable community list on that target.  

2) remove the trap destination for the essentials box on those targets you aren't managing

3) ignore the alert by right clicking on the alert itself and creating an ignore filter (right click -> ignore -> ignore on all devices

4) disable the authentication trap option on the target (not an option here)

OK Rebooting the OME Server seems to have stopped the alerts. I guess I could have just restarted the network monitor service but what eva
