How do I generate a high-severity alert and an SNMP trap?

You can set up an action that generates a high-severity alert and an SNMP trap to an Enterprise System Management (ESM) host. The ESM host must be defined in the IBM® Sterling Control Center Monitor ESM Host settings.

You can specify this action in a rule that triggers, for example, whenever any file transfer on a managed Sterling Connect:Enterprise® server fails.
  1. Create a General action with a Name and Description similar to the following values:
    • Name: Generate Alert and Trap
    • Description: Generate high-severity alert and trap to the console
  2. Continue past the email wizard page and go to the Alert page. Select 1 - High for severity and click Next.
  3. On the SNMP Trap page, select SNMP Trap.
  4. Then click through subsequent pages and confirm your choices.
