SNMP is a comprehensive management protocol that provides a standard for interfacing to virtually all devices and applications. Unfortunately, the installation and configuration of a full-function Network Management System (NMS), which includes automated discovery, MIB compilers, SNMP Trap collection and sophisticated root cause analysis, is often put on the back burner. Bringing an NMS on-line is a huge commitment in time, training and resources, and often takes months or years to implement.

The Attention! AM SNMP Trap Collector is a quick and comprehensive way to take advantage of the real-time SNMP Trap capabilities built into every SNMP-enabled device and application. There are no MIBs to compile, or complex user interfaces to spend weeks getting familiar with. Just point your SNMP devices at the Attention! AM SNMP Trap Collector, and all Traps will be forwarded to the Attention! AM Server for immediate processing.

By default, all SNMP Trap variables will be converted to text fields, and sent to the Attention! AM Server as a delimited string. But with the customization capabilities inherent in all Attention! AM Agent software, you can tailor the Trap data within minutes to provide your organization with concise descriptions of the critical information available in your monitored IT environment.
