Trap Destinations

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

The Trap Destination page enables you to define the destinations where you want SevOne NMS to send traps. Trap destinations can be third party applications such as your company's event console or fault management system. Each trap can be sent to multiple destinations. After you define a trap destination, you associate devices to the trap destination from the Trap Destination Associations page to have devices send traps to the destinations you define here.

To access the Trap Destination page from the navigation bar, click the Events menu, select Configuration, and then select Trap Destinations.
