Add Action: SNMP Trap

Triggers the SNMP Trap. In this case, the Engine component validates the policy and traps are forwarded to Event management.

Thus, trap-directed notification can result in substantial savings of network and agent resources.

The Configure Policy Actions dialog for this policy contains the following fields and check box:

IP Address

Specifies the IP Address.

Use IP Address above

Uses the IP Address given in the preceding field as default.

Enter message

Defines the text you want to view in the policy notification.

Macro

Specifies the macro that you want to add to the notification message. You can add any number of macros to the message.

Add

Adds the selected macro to the message.

Perform action when Asset no longer violates Policy

Evaluates the policy as defined during policy creation.

When you select this check box, the following happens when an asset no longer complies with the policy:

The asset is no longer displayed in the Violators list.
The policy is removed from the violated policies list in the Home page of the asset and the domain home page.
The asset icon changes to the default icon (when it does not violate another policy).
The configured action will be initiated.
