SNMP Managers.xml

The file SNMP Managers.xml is used for the configuration of remote SNMP Managers and is located in the following folder: C:\Skyline DataMiner\.

Note that this file is only partially synchronized in a DMS. The Configuration section of this file is not synced. Each DMA only reads the entry in this section that matches its own DataMiner ID.

Important

To implement any manual changes to SNMP Managers.xml, first stop the DMA and then restart it after your changes have been saved.

Configuration section

For each DataMiner Agent in the DMS, the Configuration section of this file contains an Agent tag with the following subtags:

AuthoritativeEngineID: The engine ID used by the DMA for northbound SNMP traffic.
EngineBoots: The number of engine restarts of the DMA.

For more information about the use of AuthoritativeEngineID and EngineBoots, refer to About snmpEngineID, snmpEngineBoots, snmpEngineTime and timeliness.

Note

It is possible to change the engine ID using the SLNetClientTest tool. However, note that this is an advanced system administration tool that should be used with extreme care. See Modifying the engine ID of a DMA.

SnmpManagers section

This section contains the configuration of the SNMP managers: third party systems to which DataMiner has to forward SNMP notifications.

For more information about SNMP managers, refer to About SNMP Managers. For more information about how to configure SNMP managers, refer to Configuring an SNMP manager in DataMiner Cube.
