SNMP traps
Dell Command | Monitor generates events that result in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
traps or operating system event logs. This section describes the traps, also known as alerts, generated by
Dell Command | Monitor.
Dell Command | Monitor generates events in response to changes in the status of sensors and other
monitored parameters. When an event with predefined characteristics occurs on your system, the SNMP
subagent sends information about the event, along with trap variables, to the management console.
Each status change event generates a unique identifier called the TrapID and a trap description that
describes the event. The TrapID and message uniquely describe the severity and cause of the event. The
TrapID and description also provide other relevant information such as the location of the event and the
previous state of the monitored item.
Trap variables
This section describes the variables that are sent to the management console to provide additional
information about a trap or alert generated by some event on your system. The trap variables listed here
apply to all Instrumentation traps. Trap variables are sent in the order listed and are reserved for use only
in traps. When a varbind is created for a trap variable, a zero is appended to the object ID (OID) to create
the OID for the varbind.
