Sending SNMP Traps

The SNMP tab provides the following fields for defining an SNMP trap notification:

  • Event ID(Optional): Defines a user-defined ID that can be a part of the search criteria in the notification filter for a third-party tool. The maximum for this field is 64 characters.
    • The SMA Notify Handler places this ID in the message with the format: "EventID=<space>XXXXXX".
    • All characters are allowed except for the following: ~ (Tilde) , # (Pound), % (Percent), ! (Exclamation), @ (At), $ (Dollar), \^ Carat
  • Severity: Defines the choices for the message's severity level. The choices are: Information, Warning, or Error.
  • Message: Defines a user-defined message up to 3,000 characters. In addition to the user-defined text, the message includes the default trigger information: Event ID, trigger type, and triggering status change event.
