Trellix appliances send Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) data to convey abnormal conditions to administrative computers that monitor and control them. The administrative computers are called SNMP managers.
SNMP data includes the following:
Events (known as traps) that are sent (pushed) by the appliance to the SNMP manager. Traps typically report alarm conditions such as a disk failure or excessive temperature. They are unsolicited; that is, they are not sent in response to requests from the SNMP manager. See Sending traps.
