SNMP trap
When a rule of a monitor is triggered, alarm actions are executed. See Alarm actions overview for
more general information. One of the possible alarm actions is a SNMP trap. A SNMP trap is a
special SNMP Message that is send from the MonitorMagic server to specific computers on your
network that runs software (called an SNMP manager) that can interpret these messages, and
act on them if required. See Introduction SNMP traps for more general info.
In order for the SNMP traps to work, SNMP must be configured on the server that the policy
containing this alarm action is applied. see Requirements SNMP traps and Configure
MonitorMagic SNMP traps for more information.

create a new SNMP trap alarm action. You can specify in the message tab the exact descriptive
