download this module from the additional components page of the SolarWinds
Customer Portal before you can run the action. Make sure it is installed in your
Perl path. For more information, see Using Perl SDK.
Consult the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) of your system
(http://your-server:8983/swvm/ws/hyper9.wsdl) for information about all you
can do through the SOAP web services.
SNMP settings
You can use external monitoring tools to view all system alerts, because
Virtualization Manager can integrate with these systems by sending SNMP traps.
SNMP traps are automatically sent for every alert if your system is configured for
at least one trap receiver. For more information, see Configuring SNMP.
If you do not want all alerts to use the same OIDs, specify a different OID per alert
on the Advanced tab of the Alert definition. The SNMP alerts are always prefixed
by the Virtualization Manager enterprise OID.
Advanced settings
On the Advanced tab of the alert creation screen you can define the following
optional details about an alert:
l In Context Search Link
l In Context Performance Graph
l SNMP Trap OID Override
