Logged Traps

This documentation applies to NMS version 5.4. An online version of the software can be found here.

The Logged Traps page displays the SNMP traps SevOne NMS receives for which you define a trap event. Simple Network Management Protocol traps are an aspect of SNMP that enables a device to send information. An example of a trap trigger is when a new interface is added or a device is restarted. Trap events enable you to assign real meaning to SNMP traps and logged traps have a trap event. SevOne NMS provides starter set trap events and the Trap Event Editor enables you to define trap events that are specific to your network. The Cluster Manager Cluster Settings tab enables you to define how many days to save logged traps.

To access the Logged Traps page from the navigation bar, click the Events menu, select Archives, and then select Logged Traps.
