fix
No. Both Operations and Security Manager provide SNMP capabilities to allow integration with other network monitoring applications. You can configure the Operations and Security Manager to generate an SNMP trap when an alert-generating processing rule match occurs.

The SNMP traps are built off the alert fields.

Note: There is a simple way to configure the system to give an SNMP trap as a response without having the additional administrative overhead associated with also having to resolve an alert. Simply configure the alert rule so that the each alert will be raised with a resolution of state of 'Resolved'. The alert will never appear as "open" and should be groomed out according to the grooming parameters.
