This section shows the configuration for generating an SNMP trap when a VS-Down event occurs.

The workflow for configuring SNMP trap is described as follows:



In the following example from the NSX Advanced Load Balancer Controller web interface, the VS-Down event is shown associated with a new alert action named my-SNMP-alert-action. However, you can modify the default alert action System-Alert-Level-High. You can leave the system default alert action unchanged, and instead create a new custom alert action.




In Alert Action editor, navigate to Operations > Alerts > Alert Actions. The named action is associated with SNMP trap notification.



  • Name - Specify the notification as “my-SNMP-trap-notification”.

  • Alert Level - Select the alert level as Low, Medium, or High from the drop-down menu.

  • Email - Select the email notification configuration to send alerts via email.

  • Syslog - Select the system log notification configuration to use when sending alerts via Syslog.

  • SNMP Trap - Select SNMP Trap notification to use when sending alerts through SNMP trap from the drop-down menu.

  • ControlScript - Select ControlScript profile from the drop-down menu.

The named notification is defined in the notification editor.

Note:

Multiple SNMP servers are supported. (In SNMP TRAP option, click Create and click Add.)



Figure 1. For SNMPv2:

Ensure atleast one SNMP trap server is added in the SNMP TRAP PROFILE configuration.
