Example of set and clear notification

The following example illustrates how to configure the notification and clear an event. One trap creates a state of NOTIFY, while the other creates a state of CLEAR:

BEGIN_TRAP  .1.3.6.1.4.1.10.1.9.5.1  6  1
ClassName:   Port
InstanceName:   $SYS$ PORT $V1$
EventName:   lerAlarmOn
Severity:   3
EventText:   This is a longer text message
EventType:   DURABLE
Category:   Performance
State:   NOTIFY
END_TRAP
BEGIN_TRAP  .1.3.6.1.4.1.10.1.9.5.1  6  2
ClassName:   Port
InstanceName:   $SYS$ PORT $V1$
EventName:   lerAlarmOn
State:   CLEAR
END_TRAP

Notifications are uniquely identified by using the three attributes: ClassName, InstanceName, and EventName. In the example, the second trap definition will clear an event created with the first trap definition when the values of the three key fields are identical.
