The SNMP Receiver receives traps and translates them via a MIB file. ELM can receive SNMP traps sent from any SNMP management system or from another ELM Server. In order to receive SNMP traps on the ELM Server:  

•Windows SNMP Trap Services must Not be running.

•ELM Management Service must be running.

 

SNMP Monitor

The default SNMP Receiver monitor item will translate OID values to names.  To use this feature a MIB file for a device sending traps must be copied to the MibFiles sub-folder under the ELM install folder. When traps are received by ELM it will then translate the OID from numeric to text labels as defined in the MIB.

 

Auto Assign

By default, the SNMP Receiver monitor item will be automatically assigned to any agent that sends SNMP Traps to the ELM server.  If unchecked, you must manually assign the monitor item to agents.

 

Event Filters

By default, the SNMP Receiver defaults to collecting all SNMP Traps when there isn't an Include Filter assigned to it.  See Event Filters for further information.
