Setting Trap Information
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 will be reported:
- Click the Trap Information tab and click Add.
- In the Add one Trap dialog box, select the desired parameters. As
a minimum, select a trap event, enter the minimum interval between mails,
and enter 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 SANscape Alert. SANscape Alert restarts to read the configuration file
again.
Trap Parameter Definitions

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.
