Converting Events to Traps
Converting Events to Traps
Any process that generates events, including the Ethernet Subagent, can have its
events translated into traps by the EMS Trap Subagent. The EMS Subagent uses an
event filter known as a “routing distributor” to determine where to route trap messages.
The filter contains a destination statement that identifies the SNMP agent as the
routing destination. The filter can also contain specifications for selecting events to
convert into traps. Refer to Section 9, EMS Trap Subagent, for more information.
