370CHAPTER 8: THE EVENT LOG

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.
