Detect one or more SNMP trap events received over a given period. See significant events (device security, enclosure temperature, network congestion and more) from SNMP-enabled devices.
Note: This threshold expects that SNMP trap types are already setup and ready to be triggered at the target device. The threshold reacts to the frequency and presence of these triggered or trap events.
Configure an SNMP trap threshold:
Automatically resolve items no longer out of threshold. Select this option if you want Alert Center to automatically resolve items when they return to the value within the threshold limit.
Note: Notification policies are optional for most thresholds. If you do not select a notification policy, no notifications are generated for the threshold, but a dashboard report listing the out of threshold items still appears on the Alert Center Home page.
Add Condition Rules:
Exclude Devices. Select to build or apply an exclusion list.
Note: Configure the threshold check interval for a longer time than the sampling interval for thresholds relating to trends, such as percent utilization. Configure it for a time the same as (or similar to) the sampling interval when configuring a threshold for a health check.
Tip: Avoid setting the threshold check interval to a very short time. Aggressive intervals can degrade system performance. In general, setting the threshold check interval to less than five minutes is not advised.
