In the SNMP Configuration File add a trapsink entry for the Hosting Device IP address, for example
trapsink 1.2.3.4 public, and click Change.
The trapsink command is required for events to be sent to Insight Remote Support for analysis. If
the trapsink command is not configured, Insight Remote Support will not receive traps.
A rocommunity directive allows SNMP GET and GETNEXT access. It is required for discovery and by the
analysis rules. The format is: rocommunity <community_string>, for example rocommunity
public. The community string used must be the same read community string configured in the
Insight RS Console SNMP protocol assigned to the ProLiant Linux server. The rocommunity is used
during analysis rules trap processing to retrieve additional information not supplied with traps.
The rwcommunity directive allows SNMP GET, GETNEXT, and SET access. It is not required for use by
Insight Remote Support, but may be needed by other applications.
Note: If you do not use the public community string in the trapsink entry, then you must
add a new SNMP protocol for this monitored device in the Insight RS Console that uses the
same community string.
