Configuring an SNMP threshold
Configure under what circumstances an event is triggered.
To set SNMP thresholds
1. Go System > Configuration > SNMP.
2. Click the arrow to expand the SNMP Threshold area.
3. Configure the following:
 
GUI item
Description
SNMP agent enable
Enable to activate the FortiMail SNMP agent. This must be enabled to accept queries from SNMP managers or send traps from the FortiMail unit.
Description
Enter a descriptive name for the FortiMail unit.
Location
Enter the location of the FortiMail unit.
Contact
Enter administrator contact information.
SNMP Threshold
To change a value in the four editable columns, select the value in any row. It becomes editable. Change the value and click outside of the field. A red triangle appears in the field’s corner and remains until you click Apply.
 
Trap Type
Displays the type of trap, such as CPU Usage.
 
Trigger
You can enter either the percent of the resource in use or the number of times the trigger level must be reached before it is triggered.
For example, using the default value, if the mailbox disk is 90% or more full, it will trigger.
 
Threshold
Sets the number of triggers that will result in an SNMP trap.
For example, if the CPU level exceeds the set trigger percentage once before returning to a lower level, and the threshold is set to more than one, an SNMP trap will not be generated until that minimum number of triggers occurs during the sample period.
 
Sample Period(s)
Sets the time period in seconds during which the FortiMail unit SNMP agent counts the number of triggers that occurred.
This value should not be less than the Sample Freq(s) value.
 
Sample Freq(s)
Sets the interval in seconds between measurements of the trap condition. You will not receive traps faster than this rate, depending on the selected sample period.
This value should be less than the Sample Period(s) value.
Community
