SNMP Connection failure

Post by uxout »

I'm using WinCC OA 3.15P1.
Is there an easy way to trigger an alarm for a connection lost with any SNMP Agent? Or should I go for CTRL script?
I didn't find anything useful in the help documentation.

Thanks for the link.
It's not really about monitoring managers to know if they stop.
What I want is to know when there is a link error to a SNMP agent so that I can trigger an alarm.
How could I do this?

SNMP uses the message oriented protocol UDP, so there is no connection (loss). When the SNMP agent does not respond in time, then the datapoint element '.Status.Timeout' will be set. To get an alarm place add an alert_hdl config on this element.
