SMS: SNMP Traps Are Not Sent If Trap Throttle Is Too Strict (165591)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q165591 SUMMARY
If you apply a trap throttle that is too rigid, you will find that no
traps are sent, and you will see information similar to the following
in the Snmpelea.trc file:
03/06/1997 14:51:24 SnmpEvLogProc: Event detected log record written for
Security - 1 - 00148440
03/06/1997 14:51:24 SnmpEvLogProc: Performance threshold flag is on. No
data will be processed.
03/06/1997 14:51:24 SnmpEvLogProc: Allocating memory for log event
record
The trap throttle is a mechanism to prevent SNMP traps from flooding your
network.
To correct the problem and begin sending traps again from a specific
client, do the following from the Systems Management Server Administrator:
- Open the Personal Computer Properties for the affected client.
- From the Windows NT Administrative Tools group, start the Event to
Trap Translator program.
- Click Settings and select Don't Apply Throttle. Click OK twice to save
the settings to the client computer's registry.
- Start the Event to Trap Translator program for the client again and
click Settings.
- Select Apply Throttle and define an acceptable level (the default is
500 traps in 300 seconds).
- Click Reset and then click OK twice to update the client computer's
registry.
