You can choose the severity level of the log messages to be sent. You can also choose whether or not to send messages about security events (that is, attempts to log into the System Management Console with an invalid username) and compliance events. Compliance events happen at the namespace level, so these messages are sent to the SNMP managers only if SNMP logging is enabled at the tenant level.

Note:  

System log messages are not guaranteed to arrive at the SNMP managers to which they’re sent. This is because the SNMP protocol uses UDP for data transmission.

Some HCP startup events occur before the internal SNMP server starts. Therefore, messages about these startup events are not sent to SNMP managers.
