IP Address
Denotes the address from where the trap is received as message or the event which is generated by NMS on behalf of device like threshold alarms.

- Events which has the priority set to normal and no action by the user is required like device going up.Minor
- An event whose priority is set as minor and user needs to consider the event like there has been configuration changes to the deviceWarning
- An event whose priority is set as warning and user needs to consider the event like device CPU or memory going upMajor
