What are SNMP traps?

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps are unsolicited notifications sent by the SNMP agent to the SNMP manager when critical events occur on the network devices in which it's deployed. SNMP trap monitoring helps you identify and troubleshoot network issues swiftly before they can affect business-critical applications and services. ManageEngine EventLog Analyzer, a powerful network security tool, can collect and analyze SNMP traps in real time.

Streamline network device monitoring by analyzing SNMP traps

Gain visibility into network device issues not occurring during the SNMP polling period by analyzing the SNMP traps obtained from your devices. With EventLog Analyzer, you can monitor, audit, correlate, and resolve network issues all from a single console. It can correlate SNMP trap data with logs obtained from other devices and help you determine suspicious events in your network.

Streamline network device monitoring by analyzing SNMP traps

Get instantaneous alerts when critical events occur

Receive real-time alerts via email or SMS when critical issues occur, and resolve them quickly and effectively before they can cause any severe impact. EventLog Analyzer includes more than 1,000 predefined alerting criteria that address a variety of security use cases. You can also customize them to be triggered based on a certain threshold value or time range.

Perform generic and specific SNMP trap analysis in real time

EventLog Analyzer provides real-time graphical reports that help you analyze both the generic traps and enterprise-specific traps generated by SNMP agents.

Generic trap types

  • coldStart: This type of trap is sent by an agent when the network device reinitializes itself and if its configuration has been altered.
  • warmStart: This type of trap is sent by an agent if the network device has reinitialized automatically and if its configuration has remained unaltered.
  • linkDown: This type of trap is sent by an agent when a known communications interface has failed.
  • authenticationFailure: This type of trap is sent by an agent when it gets a request from a community name that could not be authenticated.
  • egpNeighborLoss: This type of trap is sent when the EGP neighbor is lost.
  • enterpriseSpecific: This type of trap is sent when an enterprise-specific event occurs.

Analyze SNMP traps based on severity

EventLog Analyzer also provides real-time reports that helps you analyze traps based on their severity level.

  • Error events: This trap indicates that error conditions are present.
  • Information events: This trap refers to informational messages.
