New system with SNMP traps

Centreon has evolved with an easiest way to handle SNMP traps. Some advantages of the new system:

  • No more ‘snmptt’

  • More advanced configuration in SQL Database

  • Local database (SQLite) on Pollers

You have to look on the centreon documentation in order to configure Centreon using this new system. Go in section: User guide > Advanced > SNMP TRAPS

Important notes

Centcore is now mandatory

External commands are now sent to centcore regardless of whether the poller is local or not. So be sure to have it running all the time from now on.
