Choosing SNMP Adapter settings

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Adapter allows you to run the OpenEdge Management SNMP agent and configure it to throw traps to an SNMP management console. Traps are OpenEdge Management-resource-related event notifications sent to your SNMP management console. (For more information about the SNMP Trap Action, see the Resource Monitoring Guide.)

The SNMP agent is responsible for handling SNMP requests. All OpenEdge Management-specific SNMP variables are contained in the Management Information Base (MIB); the MIB is named PSC-FM-MIB.txt and is located in the <OpenEdgeManagement-install-dir>\config directory.
