Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Issue

  • SNMP traps from ONTAP do not reflect on the SNMP server.
  • The destination IP address is properly configured:

Cluster1::> event notification destination show
Name            Type        Destination
--------------  ----------  ---------------------
snmp-traphost   snmp        10.XX.XX.XX (from "system snmp traphost")

  • The creation of a test event shows that ONTAP is generating the traps:

Cluster1::> set diag
Cluster1::*> event generate -node Node-01 -message-name monitor.volume.nearlyFull -values test,test,test,test,test,test

Cluster1::*> event notification history show -destination snmp-traphost
Time                Node             Severity      Event
------------------- ---------------- ------------- ---------------------------
3/28/2023 14:53:37  Node-01          ERROR         monitor.volume.nearlyFull: test testtesttest is nearly full (using or reserving test% of space and test% of inodes).

  • The collection of packet traces on the management port confirms that the SNMP traps are being generated on the node.
