SNMP alerts
SNMP is frequently used to monitor systems for fault conditions such as temperature violations,
hard drive failures, and voltage fault conditions. The iDRAC generates events that result in Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps and entries in the iDRAC Lifecycle Log.
The iDRAC 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 event generates an identifier called the trap ID and a list of trap variables that provide
additional details about the event. The traps of the iDRAC MIB are organized into five subgroups
of traps. Each subgroup corresponds to one of the following five categories of events that iDRAC
supports:
• System Health
• Storage Health
• Updates
• Audit
• Configuration
