iDRAC Traps
The iDRAC generates events that result in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and/or entries in the iDRAC
Lifecycle Log. This section describes the traps, also known as alerts, generated by the iDRAC.
The iDRAC 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 event generates an identifier called the trap ID and a list of trap variables that provide additional details about the event.
The trap variables are listed in the following on Trap Variables.
The traps of the iDRAC MIB are organized into five subgroups of traps. Each subgroup corresponds to one of the five
categories of events that iDRAC supports (the System Health, Storage Health, Updates, Audit, and Configuration
categories). Here is a list of the trap subgroups are:
● System Trap Group
● Storage Trap Group
● Updates Trap Group
● Audit Trap Group
● Configuration Trap Group
The trap subgroups, and all the traps within each trap subgroup, are described and listed in sections following the Trap Variables
section.
NOTE: The traps listed in this document can be correlated to specific events that are documented in the Dell Event
Message Reference guide. There is 1-to-many relationship between SNMP traps and events in iDRAC. To correlate a trap to
a specific event or set of events, you can match the Trap ID value of a trap in this document to the Trap/Event ID value
of events in the Dell Event Message Reference guide.
Trap Variables
This section lists the six variables that are sent with iDRAC traps to provide additional information about a trap or alert
generated by some event on the system. The trap variables presented here apply to all iDRAC7 and later traps. The trap
variables are sent in the order listed and are reserved for use only in traps.
