J.1 Windows SNMP Service
All entries in the event log can be converted into SNMP traps using standard Windows programs. This means that an entry in the event log can be sent to a destination as a message. The following Windows programs are used to do this:
*evntwin
You can use this Windows program to specify which event traps are generated.
*evntcmd, eventtriggers
As an alternative to the evntwin program, you can use evntcmd to configure which event traps should be generated and export this configuration. You can use eventtriggers to import this configuration on another Computer.
Data can even be exported/imported from a remote location.
How to activate the generation of traps
1 Under "Start | Settings | Control Panel | Software | Add/Remove Windows Components", open the Windows components installation.
2 Select "Management and Monitoring Tools".
Click on "Next>".
3 Select "WMI SNMP Provider" in the "Management and Monitoring Tools" window.
4 Confirm the installation with "OK".
Once the installation is complete, two new services (SNMP Trap Service and SNMP Service) will appear.
5 You can define the destination for the SNMP traps on the "Traps" tab in the SNMP Service Properties dialog box.
6 Add "public" to the list under "Accepted community traps" on the "Security" tab.
7 Then restart the Microsoft SNMP service.
8 You can then use 'evntwin' to select the entries to be generated in the Traps event log. In the example below, in addition to the entries in the event log, traps from SwyxLinkManager are generated every time.
