SNMP is the acronym for Simple Network Management Protocol, an open standard for sending alert messages to a specified destination. There are three versions of SNMP: SNMPv1, SNMPv2, and SNMPv3. CA Enterprise Log Manager can use either SNMPv2 or SNMPv3 to alert one or more third-party management systems when an event that generates an alert occurs.
In CA Enterprise Log Manager, an alert is generated when a scheduled query returns results from the event log databases of recently refined events. A scheduled query can be configured with SNMP trap as a destination. Trap receivers, the destination management systems, can process traps at the rate of approximately 200 traps per second. Trap receivers typically listen on UDP port 162, the well-known port for snmptrap.
CA Enterprise Log Manager gives you the flexibility to create your own custom alerts to send as SNMP traps. For example, you can define alerts that send notification that a critical event has occurred. You can also define alerts for events such as configuration changes. You decide which alerts to send as SNMP traps.
