Adding a Third-Party SNMP Alarm Object to an iControl Web Page
iControl allows you to quickly integrate a third-party SNMP device into your monitoring configuration by adding alarm objects onto iC Web pages. You can select any SNMP OID from a MIB loaded in the iControl MIB Browser, and then drag it directly onto a Web page in iC Creator. With some minor adjustments, this new Web object establishes a direct link to a particular status on the third-party SNMP device.
The following procedures describe how to display the SNMP status of third party devices on iC Web pages. The first procedure applies in the case where the SNMP parameter is directly available in the MIB Browser. The second applies where the parameter is contained in an SNMP table.
NOTE: Before beginning either procedure, make sure that the iControl Application Server you will be using has an active connection to the third-party SNMP device. You will also need the device’s IP address, as well as a copy of its SNMP MIB. |
