Sending notifications via SNMP traps from IPCheck Server Monitor
For notifications you can send SNMP traps from IPCheck Server Monitor by using a freeware command line tool.
IPCheck Server Monitor does not support sending SNMP Traps itself, but by using a external command line tool (EXE) you can send SNMP traps easily:
In this sample we are using the small freeware command line tool "trapgen.exe" from Network Computing Technologies.
- Download TRAPGEN.EXE from http://www.ncomtech.com/trapgen.html (listed on the download page as "Trap Generator").
- Unpack the ZIP file and copy trapgen.exe to a folder on the machine running IPCheck (e.g. the folder "c:\trapgen")
- Create a new notification (or edit an existing one)
- Scroll down to the Execute Program section
- For Program File enter the full path to the trapgen.exe file (e.g. c:\trapgen\trapgen.exe)
- For Parameters enter
-d xx.xx.xx.xx -v 1.3.6.1.4.1.1824.1.0.0.1 STRING "%server %name %status %down (%msg)"
-
Replace the xx.xx.xx.xx with the IP address where you want the trap to be sent to. If your server port is not 162, then add the -p parameter to set your port.
See the section below for more options of trapgen.exe.
Applies to: V4.x or later
