You will need to be able to deploy a test environment using virtual machines (VM's). This document is intended for use by Nagios XI Administrators who wish to learn how SNMP Traps work. Just to be really clear, the SNMP Sender server is NOT required in your real world production environment, it is purely used as a training tool in this tutorial.

In your real world production environment this could be a UPS, Storage Array or any other SNMP Trap sending device. NOTE: The SNMP Sender server is purely used to provide the functionality of sending Traps to Nagios XI SNMP Receiving server, specifically for this tutorial.

Here you will receive status updates of the CentOS server being monitored on the sender server.Īfter following this document and deploying the test environment you will have a solid understanding of how SNMP Traps work and will be able to easily configure SNMP Traps received from real devices. This server will RECEIVE SNMP Traps from the sending server.This is achieved using the “SNMP Trap Sender” component built into Nagios XI.It is monitoring a single CentOS server which you will also be instructed to setup. This server will SEND SNMP Traps to the receiving server.To make this as simple as possible we will use two Nagios XI servers and a CentOS server: The goal of this tutorial is to provide step by step instructions to allow you to setup an test environment and see first hand how traps work.

Traps can be overwhelming to start with and the difficulty starts when you're trying to learn following other guides that aren't specifically about the device you're receiving traps from. This document is purely focused on SNMP Traps.
