Configuration settings for the address and protocol of the SNMP server.

URL

GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/management/snmp/trap

Cookies

Cookie name	Description	Required	Values
session_id	Contains the authentication token of the user	Required	The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For more information on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API. NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format).

Sample request

The following command lists the configuration of the SNMP server.

Element		Type	Description
key		string	Top level element, contains the ID of the endpoint.
body		Top level element (string)	Contains the address and protocol settings of the SNMP server.
	enabled	boolean	Set to true to send alerts to an SNMP server.
	version	Top level item	Contains the configuration settings for the server address, and the SNMP protocol.

Elements of version			Type	Description
selection			string	Defines the SNMP protocol to use. Possible values are: 2c Configures version 2c of the SNMP protocol. 3 Configures version 3 of the SNMP protocol.
value			Top level item	Contains the SNMP server address, and the protocol-specific settings.

The value of the encryption_password element must also be set to null. aes: AES encryption. The encryption_password element must reference a valid password. des: DES encryption. The encryption_password element must reference a valid password.
	encryption_password		string	Must be used if version 3 of the SNMP protocol is configured. Set to null if the value of the encryption_method is set to none. References the password used for encrypting the communication with the SNMP server. You can create passwords at the /api/configuration/passwords/ endpoint. To modify or add a password, use the value of the returned key as the value of the x509_identity element, and remove any child elements (including the key). The referenced password must be at least 8 characters long, and can contain letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9) the special characters (!"#$%&'()*+,;<=&@[\]^`{|}_./:?-) and the space character.
