Networks are prone to unprecedented issues in the devices and minor elements in those devices, as well. These issues can take a toll on the network operations to avoid which instant alerting is crucial. Analyzing the issues by knowing what has happened inside the device helps in resolving issues faster for which SNMP traps are essential.

What are SNMP traps and how do they work?
An SNMP trap is any event generated and sent by the SNMP agent in a device and received by a network management system (NMS) whenever a change of state or anomaly is detected. These event messages generated by devices are received by an NMS like Site24x7, which is the trap receiver. SNMP traps are a type of SNMP messages that are intended to communicate to the SNMP manager when something goes wrong in a network. Traps are generated instantaneously and are raw messages which an NMS has to process for network admins to understand easily.
