Hello,

which server are you configuring, and which OS please?

Thanks
Marco

The openmanage enterprise server.

Hello,

I mean which PowerEdge model? And which Operative System?
Thanks

Marco

This is the listener for the incoming alerts in the openmanage console.

Try changing it to Custom, configure the Community String, then restart the application. After that let us know if it retains or reverts. 

Thank you. 

There is no place to define a custom setting. You just go into Application Settings - SNMP Listener. It's changed back to the default of public again. 

Hello which version of OpenManage Enterprise server?

Any error log?

Thanks

Marco

Hi,

same here.

OME 3.5.0 (Build 60)

It is possible to alter the snmp community string to our needs (Application Settings/Incoming Alerts/Community). For a short while this is ok and the OME receives the snmp traps form the iDRACs.

But after a short while the Community resets to "public". From than all traps with the correct Community are ignored. As OME is the hardware monitoring tool for a huge environment this is absolutely unacceptable.

We've been close to an emergency because we have not seen the problem in OME.

Hello,

after checking i confirm that it is not possible to customize the SNMP community string, that should be set as "public".

Hi Marco,

please have a look at the GUI of OM Enterprise and open "Application Settings" / "Incoming Alerts" / "Community", you should see that it is possible to change the community string.

The problem is, that this setting resets to public automatically after a short while.
