Q7560010: Is the Windows SNMP Trap Service required to send out SNMP Traps from Network Monitor?
No, this is not required. ActiveXperts SNMP Trap notifications do not rely on this service.
If you need the Windows SNMP Trap Service for other applications, ActiveXperts will still be able to send out SNMP Trap notifications.

Network Monitor > Alert Notifications - SNMP Traps Q7560030: I get the following System Warning in my log file: "Too many outstanding SMrequests. Reconfigure or disable SMS notifications".
This means that there are more SMTP Trap notification requests than the ActiveXperts Network Monitor Engine service can handle. There can be various reasons for that:
The SMTP Trap agent is not functioning
The network connection to the SMTP Trap agent is slow
Too many notifications as a result of failed checks
SMTP Trap notification requests are queued in the following folder by default:
C:\ProgramData\ActiveXperts\Network Monitor\Ipc\Queue\Alerts\
Requests are processed in FIFO order.
