SUMMARY
If you apply a trap throttle that is too rigid, you will find that no traps are sent, and you will see information similar to the following in the Snmpelea.trc file: 03/06/1997 14:51:24 SnmpEvLogProc: Event detected log record written for Security - 1 - 00148440

03/06/1997 14:51:24 SnmpEvLogProc: Performance threshold flag is on. No  data will be processed.

03/06/1997 14:51:24 SnmpEvLogProc: Allocating memory for log event record The trap throttle is a mechanism to prevent SNMP traps from flooding your network.

To correct the problem and begin sending traps again from a specific client, do the following from the Systems Management Server Administrator:


 * 1) Open the Personal Computer Properties for the affected client.
 * 2) From the Windows NT Administrative Tools group, start the Event to Trap Translator program.
 * 3) Click Settings and select Don't Apply Throttle. Click OK twice to save the settings to the client computer's registry.
 * 4) Start the Event to Trap Translator program for the client again and click Settings.
 * 5) Select Apply Throttle and define an acceptable level (the default is 500 traps in 300 seconds).
 * 6) Click Reset and then click OK twice to update the client computer's registry.
