3.12 Support for SNMP
SNMP objects
Acronis Backup 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 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 supports only TRAP operations. It is not possible to manage Acronis Backup 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 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"
