INFORMATION

MiContact Center includes an SNMP agent that enables you to monitor MiContact Center alarms through an SNMP manager. MiContact Center SNMP agent integrates with the Windows SNMP service and requires that a Windows SNMP Service be added and configured on the Enterprise Server.

The MiContact Center SNMP agent is primarily configured for traps only, but also responds to Get-request messages for trap messages.

SNMP Agent provides information on nine categories of alarms:

  • General Category Alarm
  • Data Collection Alarms
  • Server Resource Alarm
  • Communication Alarm
  • License Violation Alarm
  • IVR Alarm
  • Reporting Alarm
  • Performance Alarm
  • Configuration Alarm

The value reported for each alarm category is the highest severity of alarm currently triggered in that category.

The following procedures outlines how to:

  • Install the Windows SNMP services (Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2)
  • Configure Windows SNMP service for the SNMP agent

To install the Windows SNMP services (Windows Server 2008 R2)
