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.
