Understanding Trap Severity

Traps often contain information about values recorded by probes or sensors. Probes and sensors monitor critical components for values such as amperage, voltage, and temperature. When an event occurs on your system, the Server Administrator sends information about one of the following event types to the system management console:
  • Information/Informational—An event that describes the successful operation of a unit, such as a power supply turning on or a sensor reading returning to normal.
  • Warning — An event that is not necessarily significant, but may indicate a possible future problem, such as crossing a warning threshold.
  • Critical/Error — A significant event that indicates actual or imminent loss of data or loss of function, such as crossing a failure threshold or a hardware failure.
