Figure 177 SNMP Trap Alert Options
These two options allow you to send SNMP trap alerts for all events of
particular severities, regardless of whether the alert is attached to the
item that the event was generated for or not.
If you select either of these options for an SNMP trap alert then you do
not need to attach the alert to any items at all. SNMP traps will
automatically be sent for all events with the severity or severities indicated
by the selected check boxes.
