SNMP Configuration


These settings are optional.

For more information on SNMP refer to the Windows Help.

The SNMP tab allows you configure DS-System to work with SNMP to send traps. (You need to have SNMP management software installed if you wish to receive and handle the trap information).

Asigra Cloud Backup™ software can send traps as notifications in case the following events occur:

For DS-System, a trap will be sent as soon as the event is detected. DS-System can keep sending traps at a user-defined frequency until the problem will be solved. ("DS-Client had errors during backup" and "DS-System found invalid file(s) on storage drive" are exceptions. They will be sent only once.)

In addition, DS-System can be configured to send a special trap as a "heartbeat" signal (at a user-defined frequency). This signal can be used to determine if the monitored Asigra Cloud Backup™ service is running normally.

Note: You will require the asigra.mib file (from the DS-System Installation path). This file describes how the objects are organized. Load this file with your SNMP software to receive the traps sent by DS-System.
