Setting Trap Information Parameters
There are two types of traps: Event Traps, which send an email when an
event condition occurs; and Periodic Traps, which send an email when a
specified time arrives.
To specify the trap messages that are reported:
- Select the Trap Information tab and click Add.
- In the Add Trap dialog box, select the desired parameters.
As a minimum, select a trap event, specify the minimum interval between
mails, and specify an email address.
- After you modify any configuration, click Save to save the
configuration.
- In the main window, click Save Configuration to save the configuration
to the SANscape Alert daemon. SANscape Alert restarts to read the configuration
file again.
Trap Parameter Definitions
- Content: Specifies the information to include in the email
body. Values are: all/ event /log /report /Hosteventlog.
If you select an event trap and the Minimum interval is 0 or
*, the Content must be Event. To select periodic trap,
the Content cannot be Event.
- Trap type: Select event trap or periodic trap.
- Minimum interval between mails: For the interval between emails,
specify the desired values:
* - reports all events as they occur
HH[:MM] - sets a specific time of day in hour:minute format,
for reporting the last event message delivered during the time interval,
using a 24-hour clock. Example: 16:30 = 4:30PM
NOTE:
Always use the HH:MM format. For example, if you want to set the time
interval to every 24 hours, set it to 24:00. Remember to include the colon.
- Active trap events: An event trap is activated by an event,
with a choice of any three kinds of event.
- Periodic trap type: Use crontab format to define when to send
emails:

The encrypt key is an identifier (optional) that is displayed when
you download event messages.
