3.6.0 Matrix Server 3.6.0 Administration Guide (5697-7081, December 2007)

Chapter 13: Configure Event Notifiers and View Events 151

• Email Notifier Service. This service sends email to specified

addresses when the selected events occur.

• Script Notifier Service. This service allows you to specify a script that

will be triggered when selected events occur. If you configured

notifiers in previous releases of Matrix Server, you can use this service

to recreate the notifiers.

You will need to configure the services that you want to use with your

matrix. The event notifier configuration is saved in the mxds datastore

and will be included when you back up the datastore.

Install and Configure the Microsoft SNMP

Service

The Matrix Server SNMP service provides an SNMP extension agent and

MIBs for retrieval of all matrix-wide state and status information. Matrix

Server also provides an SNMP notifier service that can send Matrix

Server events as SNMP traps.

To use the Matrix Server SNMP service, the Microsoft SNMP service must

be installed and configured on all nodes in the matrix. This service is

included in the Microsoft Windows 2003 distribution; however, it is not

automatically installed. To perform the installation, complete these steps:

1. Open the Control Panel and select Add or Remove Programs.

2. Double-click Add/Remove Windows Components. On the Windows

Components Wizard, select Management and Monitoring Tools and

click Details.

3. On the Management and Monitoring window, select Simple Network

Management Protocol and click OK and then click Next on the

following window.

4. Insert the Windows 2003 CD or specify the location of the files. The

Wizard will now install the software.

After the Microsoft SNMP service is installed, you will need to specify a

community string. The public community string is adequate, as the string

is used only for read-only operations. To add a community string,

complete the following steps.
