Event Sources SNMP and Windows collectors?

Question

I have little personal experience with Event Sources, to my knowledge we dont extensively use them on our portal. I've found about 3 documents pertaining to event sources, and I'm trying to find out whether or not a Windows collector can even get SNMP traps? The documentation I've found doesnt even discuss about how to set up the other side to get into LM ... do we need to set up credentials on the snmp collector to allow snmp to be delivered? Or can the collector just see snmp traps on the righ...

You can receive traps on Windows. The collector by default sets this up.You can check by going into Settings -> Collectors then Manage Collector.In there check the collector config. # SnmpTrap eventcollector.snmptrap.enable=true eventcollector.snmptrap.threadpool=10 eventcollector.snmptrap.address=udp:0.0.0.0/162 You need an event source enabled and working tho to see see the traps and have them create alerts.
