SNMP Trap

The SNMP Trap action enables sending SNMP traps to your SNMP servers when the alarms specified in this Alarm Action Manager rule set are generated.

By default, an empty template is made available for immediate use. Use this empty template to create your first SNMP Trap. To add additional traps, use the green + icon to create a new blank template. When you add a new SNMP Trap, a new block is created for it. You can hover on each of these blocks to get a synopsis of the configuration for that block.

Multiple SNMP Traps can be generated for a Alarm Action Manager rule set.

For each SNMP Trap, provide the following information:


Field	Description
Server Address	The IP address of your remote SNMP server.
SNMP Port	The port on which your SNMP server is listening for notifications.
Community String	The community string for the receiving SNMP Server. This string is a series of characters manipulated as a group, in this instance for SNMP.
Transport	Specifies the transport protocol to use for sending the SNMP traps. The available protocols are: UDP (User Datagram Protocol) TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) In general, UDP is used for transmitting SNMP traps. However, TCP can be used for tunneling the traps over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
Max Queue Size	Specifies the maximum queue size for the notifications. Choose a size from the drop-down list.
Send Time	The choices Send SNMP Trap on alarm active, Send SNMP Trap on alarm active, clear, and expire, and Send every <dutation> enable configuring when the SNMP traps are sent to the server.
