Generates an SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c trap
and sends it to a specified IP address or host name.
- Requirements
- This event action requires that SNMP agent be available
on the specified system to receive the traps.
- Result
- The specified system receives an SNMP trap.
- Example
- If you use an SNMP application to monitor your systems-management
environment, you can use this action to send the events from IBM® Systems Director as traps
to the SNMP application. If your systems-management environment includes
several installations of IBM Systems Director Server, you can
use this event action to configure each instance of IBM Systems Director Server to send
the events as traps to the SNMP application such that the traps are
consolidated in the SNMP application. In the SNMP application, an
administrator can view all of the events from all of the IBM Systems Director Server installations.
