Setting Up a Service Location Policy Package The SNMP Trap Targets Policy

In ZENworks for Servers 3, several agents send an SNMP message to a central server that stores these messages and enables you to print reports on the traps. These traps can identify whether a policy has been successfully applied, whether a distribution was sent successfully, and other potential successes and failures.

The SNMP Trap Targets policy identifies the location of the service that is accepting and recording the SNMP messages from the server agents.

NDS Rights, Other, and Rights to Files and Folders pages are described earlier in the chapter in the "Setting Up a Container Policy Package" section.

Figure 5.11 displays the Trap Targets policy page. The service on the workstation walks the tree to find this policy and uses the service location stored in this policy as the destination of the SNMP messages.

After you bring up the policy page, you may add as many trap targets as you want. The service on the server sends the SNMP message to all the specified trap targets. Click the Add button and specify whether the destination can be achieved with an IP address, an IPX address, or a DNS name. After selecting the type, a dialog box appears in which you can type either the address or the DNS name of the target service.

After you add the trap targets, you need to specify how often that policy should be applied to the SNMP agents on the service location. Select the Policy Schedule tab shown in Figure 5.11. From the Policy Schedule tab, you simply identify the policy schedule type that you want to apply. When the scheduled time arrives, the system retrieves the SNMP Trap Targets policy and applies it to the agents on the server. The details concerning your choices for the schedule are described in the "Setting Up the Server Policy Package The SNMP Community Strings" section later in the chapter.

NOTE

This Schedule Policy tab replaces the SNMP Trap Target Refresh policy that was found in the Server Policy Package in earlier versions of ZENworks for Servers.
