Dell Command | Monitor Version 9.1 SNMP Reference Guide

Dell Command | Monitor generates events that result in Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps or operating system event logs. This section describes the traps, also known as alerts, generated by Dell Command | Monitor .

Dell Command | Monitor 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 status change event generates a unique identifier called the TrapID and a trap description that describes the event. The TrapID and message uniquely describe the severity and cause of the event. The TrapID and description also provide other relevant information such as the location of the event and the previous state of the monitored item.
