FQDN / IP Address | FQDN represents the complete domain name of a machine or application on a network.
The numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network is called an "IP address." An IP address is typically represented in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XX, where each "XXX" is a number ranging from 0 to 255, and the "XX" is a similar two-digit number. IP addresses are used to uniquely identify and locate devices on a network. |

It is an enhanced and more secure version of SNMP compared to its predecessors, SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. |
Community String | The SNMP trap community string is a security credential used to authenticate and authorize SNMP traps, ensuring that the sender and receiver share the same community string for trap communication. |
Stats Interval | The interval for fetching data. · Realtime · 1 Minute · 3 Minutes · 5 Minutes |
Logging Type | Logging Levels determine the frequency at which statistic queries occur, the length of time statistical data is stored in the database and the type of statistical data that is collected. |
