Configuring Event Forwarder on the Server

After installing ISM software on the server system, you must configure the SNMP Event
Forwarder. The SNMP Event Forwarder monitors the Windows NT Event Logs for events
you specify. When the specified event occurs, the SNMP Event Forwarder generates an alert
(also known as an SNMP trap). These alerts created by the SNMP Event Forwarder are
detected by the SNMP Event Viewer running on the monitoring console.
The instructions in this section assume the following:
u
The server is a Windows NT Server in a domain, workgroup, or a domain controller.
u
The server is on the network, with the network adapter software installed.
u
Windows NT TCP/IP software is installed and configured.
u
Windows NT SNMP Service is installed and configured.
u
Windows NT Computer Browser is installed and running.
NOTE The following instructions configure the SNMP Event Forwarder for networking's Server
Service (Srv driver) errors to be sent through in-band alerts. The Server Service directly
interacts with various file system drivers to satisfy input/output (I/O) requests, such as reading
or writing to a file. The Server Service gives the warnings about a disk drive being at or near
its capacity.
To configure the SNMP Event Forwarder:
1. Open SNMP Event Forwarder Configuration.
In Windows NT 4.0, from the Start menu, select Programs, LANDesk Server
Manager, and SNMP Event Forwarder Configuration.
In Windows NT 3.51, in Program Manager, double-click the SNMP Event Forwarder
Configuration icon in the LANDesk Server Manager group.
The LANDesk Workgroup Manager Event Forwarder Configuration dialog displays.
