3.6 Castle Rock Computing SNMPc Network Manager

When Operations Center integrates to Castle Rock Computing SNMPc, the following occurs:

  • SNMPc maps are imported into the Operations Center Layout view.

  • SNMPc element hierarchies and alarms display in Operations Center as they display in the SNMPc client and optional MODL tree.

To integrate SNMPc:

  1. Create an adapter for each instance of a SNMPc on the network.

    For instructions, see Section 2.1, Creating an Adapter.

  2. Modify the adapter properties.

    When there is a large SNMPc log file upon adapter startup, it can take an excessive amount of time to download all events in the log file. Use the Alarms Discovery property to filter the request for these events so that only pertinent information is downloaded through the adapter at startup. For example, filter by alarm condition to display everything except alarms with the OK condition, or filter by specifying the maximum age (in hours) of events to collect upon adapter startup.

    For property descriptions, see Section A.7, Castle Rock Computing SNMPc.
