NetWorker: How to configure NetWorker for using SNMP

• net-snmp-agent-libs
• net-snmp-libs
• net-snmp

root@networker-mc:~# cat /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf
# Example configuration file for snmptrapd
#
# No traps are handled by default, you must edit this file!
#
authCommunity   log,execute,net public

For SNMPv3 see: NetWorker SNMPV3 Configuration


5. Start snmptrapd on the SNMP receiver host:

# snmptrapd -f -C -c /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf -Lf /var/log/snmptrap.log -M /usr/share/snmp/mibs -m NETWORKER-MIB &

6. Configure NetWorker job to send SNMP trap

Note;

• Backup configuration on action level only supports SNMPv2
• Backup configuration on policy level supports both SNMPv2 and v3

For SNMP v2: /usr/sbin/nsrtrap <snmp receiver IP> -c community-string

7. you can also configure "SNMP Notification request" from Server tab on NMC. Please check the Manual attached.

8. you can tail the log /var/log/snmptrap.log to see if SNMP is sent for jobs.

root@networker-mc:~# tail -n 71 /var/log/snmptrap.log
