SNMP Notifications

You can set up SNMP notifications to be sent one or more SNMP servers.

• Types of Event—When you set up alerts, you can globally specify which alerts are sent to SNMP servers. You can also specify which alert types a specific SNMP server receives. For a list and description of each event type, see About Events.
• SNMP Version—Select SNMP version 1 or 2c.
  • 1—Does not support 64-bit counters.
  • 2c—Supports 64-bit counters.
• SNMP Trap Sink Server—Specify the SNMP trap sink server with the following information:
  • Trap Sink Name—The trap used to capture the event.
  • IP Address—The IP address of the sink server.
  • Community—The community string to use.
• Notification Delivery Frequency—You can specify the delivery frequency both globally and for individual SNMP servers. When you set an individual server delivery frequency, it overrides the global delivery frequency setting.

  FireEye recommends that you provide per event notifications to all persons monitoring event alerts. This ensures that these persons receive the alerts as soon as they occur.

  For more information on notification delivery frequency, see About Notifications.
• Notification Format— You can specify the format and level of depth for each notification sent. For more information on the notification format, see Notification Format.
