Zixi Broadcaster enables monitoring and control via SNMP (on Linux only). The monitoring system can receive SNMP Trap messages from Zixi Broadcaster as well as access monitored objects with read-only and read-write access privileges (objects and their access permissions are defined in the MIB). Zixi Broadcaster supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3. Before using SNMP you need to ensure that SNMP is enabled in your Zixi Broadcaster license, run a script, as described below, and configure the SNMP settings in the Settings >SNMP screen.
To Activate SNMP:
Run the script file ./install_snmp.sh, located in the Broadcaster folder, where Zixi Broadcaster was installed. The events on the log screen are deleted.
Note
Running the script may cause Zixi Broadcaster to restart.
To Configure SNMP:
- In Zixi Broadcaster UI, go to Settings > SNMP.
- In the Service field, click the button to activate the service.
- Do one of the following:
- For SNMPv1 or SNMPv2, fill in the read-only and/or read-write community name in the Read only community name, and Read-write community name fields.
- For SNMPv3, under the SNMPv3 Users section, click the + button.
The following screen appears:
To Refresh the Screen:
- In the Event Log screen, click Refresh on the upper right-hand corner.
The data on the screen is updated.
