GFI EventsManager 5 Collecting Event Logs | 111
Screenshot 78: SNMP Trap messages must be directed to the computer running GFI EventsManager
Note
GFI EventsManager natively supports an extensive list of SNMP devices and Management
Information Bases (MIBs). For a full list of supported devices, view the following KBASE
article: http://go.gfi.com/?pageid=esm_syslog_snmp_support
GFI EventsManager includes a dedicated SNMP Trap Server through which SNMP Traps are handled. A
built-in buffer allows the SNMP Trap Server to collect, queue and forward up to 30 SNMP Trap at a
time. Buffered logs are by default passed on to the event processing engine as soon as the buffer fills
up or at one minute intervals; whichever comes first.
Important
Before you start collecting SNMP Traps messages, every SNMP event source
(workstations, servers and/or network devices) must be configured to send their SNMP
Traps Messages to the computer name or IP where GFI EventsManager is installed.
To collect SNMP Traps:
1. From Configuration tab > Event Sources, right-click an event source or group and select
Properties.
