You might want create user-defined traps in Data ONTAP if the predefined
built-in traps are not sufficient to create alerts for conditions
you want to monitor.
Note: Before you invest the effort to define a new trap, you should consult the Data ONTAP MIBs to see if any existing traps serve
your purpose.
How traps work
You can set traps to inspect the value of MIB variables periodically. Whenever the value of a MIB variable meets the conditions you specify, a trap is sent to the network management stations on the traphost list. The traphost list specifies the network management stations that receive the trap information.
Ways to define or modify a trap
You can define traps or modify traps you have already defined by entering values at the command line, in FilerView, or in a configuration file.
