Monitor Discrete Alarms Via SNMP

Use SNMP Remotes To Monitor Discrete Alarm Data

Discrete alarms are typically used to monitor door alarms, power outages, equipment failures, and other on/off conditions that can be signaled by contact closures. Because they directly indicate the status of vital equipment, discrete alarms (also called contact closures or digital inputs) are the most common type of remote monitoring alarm.

To get the best quality visibility of your discrete alarms, your SNMP remote should support categorizing alarms by their location, time, and severity (Critical, Major, Minor, or Status). A fully capable SNMP remote can include all this information in an SNMP trap sent to your SNMP manager.
