Alert Management: Configure SNMP Trap Settings

Use this window to enable or disable SNMP trap settings for the system components in case of a critical/failure, warning, or informational event.  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, power supplies, temperature probes, fan probes, fan enclosures, voltage probes, current probes, chassis intrusion, redundancy, and memory.

You can enable or disable an SNMP trap associated with a system component by event severity. Components generate three types of events:

The SNMP Traps window allows you to configure settings for a component using a check box and radio button. The example shown is for the power supply component. Other components have the same options.

Checkbox State Radio Button State Events Enabled Events Disabled
I, W, C None
W, C I
C I, W
None I, W, C
I = Informational W = Warning C = Critical/Failure

Selecting a radio button makes the appropriate check-box state change, whereas deselecting the radio button also changes the appropriate check-box state.

Checkbox States Remarks
All of the events for the component are enabled.
Some of the events for the component are enabled.
All of the events for a component are disabled.

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.
