Using SNMP to monitor snapshots?

We've had a few clients with cases of "runaway" snapshots.  Veeam didn't properly clear them out when a backup ended or smething along those lines.

I'd like to use some sort of SNMP system to monitor/detect that.  Does anyone have any info on how to implement that?

How about which particular MIB contains snapshot based settings?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help.  Yes, I've gotten that far as I've configured the alert and set it to send an snmp trap.

I need by SNMP received on the other side (Continuum NOC in this case) to recognize and accept the trap.

I guess I need to import the proper MIB to do that?
