Alert Management: Configure SNMP Trap Settings
NOTE: This help page may include information about services or operating systems not supported by your system. See theSystems Software Support Matrix for the latest information about supported services and software.
NOTE: Due to the limitations of the operating system(for example, VMware® ESXi) or your system hardware, SNMP traps and Setting AlertActions are not available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.
Use this window to view and configure SNMP traps in OMSA. Configure SNMP trap settings by selecting a component or event to which the setting is to be applied, and then by selecting the severities for which you want to be notified.

You can configure event severity levels for the following components or events:
  • Batteries
  • Logs
  • Power Supplies
  • Memory
  • Redundancy
  • Chassis Intrusion
  • Temperature Probes
  • System Power
  • Fan Probes
  • System Peak Power
  • Fan enclosures
  • Removable Flash Media
  • Voltage Probes
You can enable or disable an SNMP trap associated with a system component by event severity. Components generate three types of events:
  • Informational
  • Warning
  • Critical/Failure
Note: The System Peak Power trap will generate events only for Informational severity.
The SNMP Traps window allows you to configure settings for a component using a check box and radio button.
Selecting a radio button makes the appropriate check-box state change, whereas deselecting the radio button also changes the appropriate check-box state.
Components are categorized into groups with a parent-child relationship. For example, all of the components such as fans, power supplies, memory, CPU, and so on, are children of the system. Any configuration at the system level impacts the individual components beneath it. If you change the system settings to disable informational events and enable warning and critical events, this setting would be assumed for all of the components beneath system.
