Measures reported by RbtSteelTrapEvnTest

SNMP Traps are alert messages sent from a remote SNMP-enabled device to a central collector, the “SNMP manager”. Trap messages are the main form of communication between an SNMP Agent and an SNMP Manager. They are used to inform an SNMP manager when an important event happens at the Agent level. A benefit of using Traps for reporting alarms is that they trigger instantaniously, rather than waiting for a status request from the manager.
