Raising Traps for Events Based on System Log Messages

Event policies can include an action that raises traps for events based on system log messages. This feature enables notification of an SNMP trap-based application when an important system log message occurs. You can convert any system log message (for which there are no corresponding traps) into a trap. This feature is valuable for customers who use network management system traps rather than system log messages to monitor their networks.

For information about converting system log messages into traps, see the Junos Configuration and Operations Automation Guide. For information about the System Log MIB that provides support for this feature, see System Log MIB.
