• Alert Trap Forward Action — Forward the SNMP Trap to another management console when the alert action criteria is

By default, new alert actions are enabled. If you want to turn o the alert action without deleting it, you can disable it either through
the right-click menu or the edit wizard for the alert action.
Several common alert action use cases are pre-installed in the disabled state to illustrate common usage. When using these pre-
installed actions, it is recommended to clone the example to a new action specic to your needs. Make sure to enable and test the
new action during this process.
