User`s guide

The option defines whether the agent(s) operating on the managed machine have to send the log

events to the specified Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) managers. You can choose the

types of events to be sent.

You can override the settings set here, exclusively for the events that occur during backup or during

recovery, in the Default backup and recovery options (p. 105). In this case, the settings set here will

be effective for operations other than backup and recovery, such as archive validation or cleanup.

You can further override the settings set in the default backup and recovery options, when creating a

backup plan or a recovery task. The settings you obtain in this case will be plan-specific or task-

specific.

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 provides the following Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

objects to SNMP management applications:

1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.1.0 - string identifying the type of event (Information, Warning, Error)

1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.2.0 - string containing the text description of the event (it looks identical to

messages published by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 in its log).

The preset is: Disabled.

o Server name/IP – type the name or IP address of the host running the SNMP management

application, the messages will be sent to.

o Community – type the name of the SNMP community to which both the host running SNMP

management application and the sending machine belong. The typical community is "public".

To disable sending SNMP messages, clear the Send messages to SNMP server check box.

The messages are sent over UDP.
