Configuring default trap events by using the web UI

The appliance has a set of default events that can be reported if you enable this feature.

About this task

The default events report on the functioning on the appliance itself rather than the operation of IBM MQ. You can enable or disable the generation of the default events as a whole, and specify the level at which an event is generated for the specified conditions.

The default events are specified by code. The codes correspond to the following conditions:
0x00030002
Out of memory
0x00230003
Unable to allocate execution resources
0x00330002
