Process of Working with SNMP Traps

Using SNMP traps involves the following procedures:

  1. Prepare CA Enterprise Log Manager to send SNMP traps.
  2. Prepare the SNMP trap destination products to receive SNMP traps from CA Enterprise Log Manager
  3. (Optional) Prepare the SNMP trap destination to interpret SNMP traps from CA Enterprise Log Manager with MIBs.

    Important! This step is optional because traps received from CA Enterprise Log Manager can be interpreted by launching the trap results page from the URL sent in the trap.

  4. Schedule alerts with SNMP trap destinations.
  5. Verify that the alert was successfully sent as an SNMP trap.
  6. (Optional) Monitor results of sent SNMP traps from the trap destination.
