SNMP Traps

Hi,

i am still configuring SNMP, but what i think is still strange, that there are serval things between the GUI and the command line.

In the old FAT Client under "Administration" you can configure SNMP, great feature we use that.

But my fault is now at our PSC, where is no gui, i am still searching for this error why there is a different between gui and command line.

On my vCenter i want to get config and push it to the PSC, because at the moment, there is no possibility to monitor this PSC.

Hopefully you can help me, where i can find the configuration of the GUI Version onto the command line.

IP + Port and Community String are right, it comes to our Syslog but not in our Admingroup(Ticketsystem).

Hopefully you can help me.

Hello,

When you were configuring this, were the steps similar to:

snmp.get

If SNMP is disabled, please enable it by :

snmp.enable

snmp.set --authentication sha1/md5

snmp.set --privacy aes128

snmp.hash --raw_secret true --auth_hash <password> --priv_hash <password>

snmp.set --users userid/auth_hash/priv_hash/priv

Let me know if this is the right path or if I misunderstood.

Hi,

my configuration to send snmp traps is correct, that works because i get notifications, but these notification don't have a description.

Where i can define alarms and warnings?

That's the real question.

In the FAT Client/Webclient it's really simple, but i didn't find any advices for a non embedded plattform service controller.
