SNMP Trap

The SNMP Trap action enables sending SNMP traps to your SNMP servers when devices meet conditions specified in the Filters tab.

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 SNMP Trap action. When you add a new SNMP Trap action, a new block is created for it along with a new blank template.

Hover on the SNMP Trap box to view a synopsis of its configuration.

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

For each SNMP Trap, provide the following information:
