SNMPv2 protocol configuration options

You can configure a log source to use the SNMPv2 protocol to receive SNMPv2 events.

The SNMPv2 protocol is an inbound/passive protocol.

The following table describes the protocol-specific parameters for the SNMPv2 protocol:

Table 1. SNMPv2 protocol parameters
Parameter	Description
Protocol Configuration	SNMPv2
Log Source Identifier	Type a unique name for the log source. The Log Source Identifier can be any valid value and does not need to reference a specific server. It can also be the same value as the Log Source Name. If you have more than one configured SNMPv2 log source, ensure that you give each one a unique name.
Community	The SNMP community name that is required to access the system that contains SNMP events. For example, Public.
Include OIDs in Event Payload	Specifies that the SNMP event payload is constructed by using name-value pairs instead of the event payload format. When you select specific log sources from the Log Source Types list, OIDs in the event payload are required for processing SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 events.
Coalescing Events	Select this check box to enable the log source to coalesce (bundle) events. Coalescing events increase the event count when the same event occurs multiple times within a short time interval. Coalesced events provide administrators a way to view and determine the frequency with which a single event type occurs on the Log Activity tab. When this check box is clear, the events are displayed individually and the information is not bundled. New and automatically discovered log sources inherit the value of this check box from the System Settings configuration on the Admin tab. Administrators can use this check box to override the default behavior of the system settings for an individual log source.
Store Event Payload	Select this check box to enable the log source to store the payload information from an event. New and automatically discovered log sources inherit the value of this check box from the System Settings configuration on the Admin tab. Administrators can use this check box to override the default behavior of the system settings for an individual log source.
