Scenario

You can configure the northbound interface so that alarms and monitoring metrics on MRS Manager can be integrated to the network management platform using SNMP.

Prerequisites

The ECS corresponding to the server must be in the same VPC as the Master node of the MRS cluster, and the Master node can access the IP address and specified port of the server.

Procedure

On MRS Manager, click System.
In Configuration, click Configure SNMP under Monitoring and Alarm.

The SNMP Service is disabled by default. Click the switch to enable the SNMP service.

Set the interconnection parameters listed in Table 1.

Write Community Name	Specifies the write community name. This parameter is valid only when Version is set to v2c.
Security Username	Specifies the SNMP security username. This parameter is valid only when Version is set to v3.

- Target Symbol specifies the trap target ID, which is the ID of the NMS or host that receives traps. The value consists of 1 to 255 characters, including letters or digits.
- Target IP Address specifies the IP address of the target trap. IP addresses of class A, B, and C can be used to communicate with the IP address of the management plane of the management node.
- Target Port specifies the port receiving traps. The port number must be consistent with the peer end and ranges from 0 to 65535.
- Trap Community Name is valid only when Version is set to v2c.
