Sending SNMP Traps

The process of sending an SNMP trap from CA Automation Point is similar to the process of sending a message. However, the SNMPTRAP rules keyword creates an SNMP item on the Event Traffic Controller queue. The Event Traffic Controller command processor then sends an SNMP trap using the CA NSM Event API library. The SNMPTRAP command supports all the operands that are accepted as Open System standards for an SNMP trap command. The trap can be received by any SNMP-aware network manager (for example, CA NSM Event Manager).
