Title
Are SNMP Trap alerts sent immediately and in order or are they queued? -
Description
Testing SNMP integration and it appears that on some occasions the traps are arriving after a short delay and not always in the sequence expected.
Are SNMP traps sent in near real time?
Are SNMP traps sent in the order that they are triggered?
-
Resolution
TPAM Alerts have never been sent "real-time". They are written out to the file system as they are generated, and then the files are processed by the alert engine every 60 seconds to be sent to both SNMP and E-mail alerts and be logged to the database.
There is currently no guarantee that individual alerts will be processed in the exact same order they were generated during any given 60-second cycle.
