SNMP support (explained)

Your system supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), a standard protocol for monitoring and controlling network devices, for managing their configuration, collecting statistics and more.

The system acts as an SNMP agent, which can generate an SNMP trap as a result of a triggered rule. A third-party SNMP management console can then receive information about the rule-triggering event, and operators of the SNMP management console can configure their system for further action as required.

The implementation uses Microsoft® Windows® SNMP Service for triggering SNMP traps. This means that you must install the SNMP Service on recording servers. When you have configured the SNMP Service through its own user interface, this enables recording servers to send .mib (Management Information Base) files to the SNMP management console.
