6.0 TRAPTRACKER PROGRAM
The NETview CD includes a separate application called TrapTracker.
This program is a software-only solution for managing and logging crit-
ical events reported by network devices. The multi-threaded architec-
ture of the program guarantees consistent performance and the ability to
receive hundreds of thousands of SNMP traps without loss. NETview
registers with the TrapTracker Server to exchange trap and alert infor-
mation.
NOTE: Additional details on TrapTracker’s features and capabilities
are contained in the online documentation provided with the
program.
6.1 TrapTracker Components
TrapTracker consists of two main elements—a Manager (or Server) and
a Viewer. The Manager receives and logs all SNMP trap information
from network devices and logs them into the TrapTracker database via
its built-in Manager Service (called TTReceiver). It also includes a con-
sole that can be used to monitor events in real time and configure user
preferences (alert types and trap severity, for example). A sample con-
sole screen is shown in Figure 47.

NOTE: The TrapTracker Manager program must be installed prior to
installing the NETview application.
