SNMP Traps

SystemEDGE can send SNMPv1 traps and SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 traps and notifications. When a configured threshold exceeds aggregate state of a monitored object changes, or another specified condition is met (such as log monitor match), the agent sends a state change trap.

SNMP trap configuration consists of configuring trap communities (including destinations) for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c traps, and SNMPv3 users for SNMPv3 traps. Trap destinations indicate which management systems receive the trap messages that the agent generates. The monitoring features of the agent reports exception condition by sending trap messages to the management systems in the trap community.

Note: For information about configuring the SystemEDGE agent to send traps, see Agent Configuration chapter. For more information about the types of traps that the agent can send, see Monitoring Architecture.

The SystemEDGE agent stores trap configuration information in the read only trapCommunity table of Systems Management Empire MIB. For more information about this table, including how to disable if you do not want to expose this access information, see Agent Configuration chapter. For more information about viewing this table in management systems, see the CA Virtual Assurance and eHealth documentation.
