Using SNMP alarms
You will access the SNMP Alarms applet frequently as you monitor the Wave Server. Once the
SNMP Configuration applet has been configured, the SNMP Alarms applet reports all SNMP
traps sent by SNMP agents residing on the Wave Server. You can view alarms to help determine
why, for example, your T-1 link or the Wave Server is down.
Caution: You cannot see any SNMP alarms unless trap destinations are configured in
the SNMP Configuration applet. You must configure a valid trap community name, and
the host name or IP address of the Wave Server as the trap destination.
The SNMP Alarms applet provides two views:
• Current alarms, the real-time traps occurring in the Wave Server. Once you have noted
the trap, you can remove it from this view.
• Previous alarms, those that have occurred when the client was not monitoring alarms in
real time. All alarms are retained in a permanent record which you can view at any time
by using the Previous Alarms button.
Types and severity of alarms are detailed in Critical Alarms.
Note: The alarms, Connection to the system is lost and Connection to the system is
restored
are not SNMP alarms and the time stamps associated with them are approximate.
