Support for SNMP

  SNMP objects

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 provides the following Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) objects to SNMP management applications:

  • Type of event

    Object identifier (OID): 1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.1.0

    Syntax: OctetString

    The value may be “Information”, “Warning”, ‘Error” and “Unknown”. “Unknown” is sent only in the test message.

  • Text description of the event

    Object identifier (OID): 1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.2.0

    Syntax: OctetString

    The value contains the text description of the event (it looks identical to messages published by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 in its log).

Example of varbind values:

1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.1.0:Information

1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.2.0:I0064000B 

  Supported operations

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 supports only TRAP operations. It is not possible to manage Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 using GET- and SET- requests. This means that you need to use an SNMP Trap receiver to receive TRAP-messages. 

  About the management information base (MIB)

The MIB file acronis-abr.mib is located in the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 installation directory. By default: %ProgramFiles%\Acronis\BackupAndRecovery in Windows and /usr/lib/Acronis/BackupAndRecovery in Linux.

This file can be read by a MIB browser or a simple text editor such as Notepad or vi. 

  About the test message

When configuring SNMP notifications, you can send a test message to check if your settings are correct.

The parameters of the test message are as follows:

  • Type of event

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.1.0

    Value: “Unknown”

  • Text description of the event

    OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.24769.100.200.2.0

    Value: “?00000000″
