Administration: SNMP Source Configuration

Author/Assessor: Anna Dowling

The SNMP Source Configuration creates the database connection for accessing the snmp_manager application. The SNMP Source Configuration is set on a per Configuration basis. To enable a particular snmp config, it must be assigned to the active Company Configuration. This can be found through the admin UI in Company Configurations.

Upon clicking on this snmp configuration entry we are presented with a number of values:

This displays a link to the Database profile configurations for the snmp_manager. If we click into this we can see the entries for settings including the Name, user name, password, connection url and Driver associated with the database.

These are the markets which we want to display information for in the Noc Portal. If we click into one of these we can see the snmp_manager related information for the market/cluster in question. This includes its id in the snmp_manager, name, outage information for this market if any is available, outage update tine and the active snmp configuration associated with it.

These are the market/ cluster groupings which we want to display information for in the Noc Portal.
