WebLogic’s SNMP trap notification mechanism is built around the standard JMX monitoring and notification system. This allows you to configure the SNMP agent to send trap notifications on changes in attribute values, on configured monitor policies, and on log messages. Traps also can be sent when the Administration Server boots, or when any Managed Server comes up or goes down.
