In release 7.2 and higher, Unitrends offers an SNMP agent that can respond to SNMP get requests. When upgrading to 7.2 and higher, the agent is deployed in a disabled state. The SNMP agent can currently accept SNMP get requests to monitor CPU utilization, memory utilization, network utilization, disk I/O, disk usage, and various other server performance parameters. Unitrends specific data–including backup, schedule, replication, and configuration information–is also available, although the Unitrends interface remains the primary method of accessing this information. For a complete list of all SNMP get requests that the agent responds to, see KB 1165.
The Unitrends SNMP agent supports SNMP gets with SNMP version 1, 2c, and 3. You can configure the SNMP V3 username and password from the command line as follows:
/usr/bp/bin/cmc_snmpd script user create<snmp_user><snmp_passwd>
The script defaults to authorization type MD5 and privacy/encryption of DES.
