Configuring the SNMP trap community name for OpsCenter

For OpsCenter traps, the SNMP trap community name is OpsCenter (by default). OpsCenter uses a public community named OpsCenter. Public community implies a read-only access to SNMP traps.

Use the following procedures to configure the SNMP trap community name on Windows and UNIX.

To configure the SNMP trap community name for OpsCenter traps on Windows

  1. On the OpsCenter server host, stop all the OpsCenter server services.

    INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat stop

  2. Navigate to INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\config directory and open the nm.conf file.

    The file shows the following entry:

    nm.trapCommunity=OpsCenter

    Modify the value of nm.trapCommunity from OpsCenter to some other name.

  3. Save the nm.conf file after making the changes.
  4. Restart all OpsCenter services.

    INSTALL_PATH\OpsCenter\server\bin\opsadmin.bat start

To configure the SNMP trap community name for OpsCenter traps on UNIX

  1. On the OpsCenter server host, stop all the OpsCenter services.

    <INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/opsadmin.sh stop

  2. Navigate to <INSTALL_PATH>/SYMCOpsCenterServer/config directory and open the nm.conf file.

    The file shows the following entry:

    Modify the value of nm.trapCommunity from OpsCenter to some other name.

  3. Save the nm.conf file after making the changes.
  4. Restart all OpsCenter services.
