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 iDRAC8 traps. The trap variables are sent in the order listed and are reserved for use only in

traps.
