SNMP traps for Backup Exec alerts
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a method by which a network can be monitored from a central location. SNMP-enabled network applications like Backup Exec report to an SNMP console (a management workstation). The console receives messages (traps) from Backup Exec regarding status and error conditions. An MIB is available in the WINNT\SNMP\language directory on the Backup Exec installation media that you can load into your SNMP console.
The Object Identifier prefix for Veritas is:
1.3.6.1.4.1.1302
Backup Exec SNMP traps (messages) have unique object IDs and may include up to four strings.
The following SNMP trap types are supported:
