You can use SNMP to remotely monitor the PowerScale cluster hardware components, such as fans, hardware sensors, power supplies, and disks. Use the default Linux® SNMP tools or a UI-based SNMP tool of your choice for this purpose.
Note: SNMP monitoring and SNMP TRAP are two different topics. SNMP monitoring is the query to get the value of the SNMP entities by SNMP GET in a synchronized way. SNMP TRAP is used to subscribe the events by SNMP INFORM/TRAP in an asynchronous way.
