Trap Queue Configuration

State of Health and Critical Event traps share one queue. Tally traps are in a separate queue. The configuration values below apply to both queues.

Maximum Alerts in Queue

Selecting AdministrationàAlertingàSNMP AgentàMaximum Alerts in Queue displays the Maximum Alerts in Queue window.

Maximum Alerts in Queue defines the length of the internal queue for TRAP events. If the queue becomes full, TRAP events are dropped (based on this value). Possible values are 10 through 1000. Default value is 256.

When Full Queue

Selecting AdministrationàAlertingàSNMP AgentàWhen Queue Full displays the When Full Queue window.

This option determines the strategy for managing the internal TRAP queue when the queue becomes full and a new TRAP event is created. The possible values are:

•Discard Old Alerts—overwrites older TRAP events. This value is the default value.

•Discard New Alerts—ignores new TRAP events.
