Which two processes are involved when BIG-IP systems issue traps? (Choose two.)
When BIG-IP systems issue traps, they rely on two main processes: 'alertd' and 'syslogng'. The 'alertd' process is responsible for monitoring system alerts, while 'syslogng' is used for logging and forwarding system messages. Together, these processes work to issue traps based on system activity.
SNMP traps are triggered when the alertd process receives input from the syslog-ng utility that matches an alert code. The alert code is matched against entries in the /var/run/bigip_error_maps.dat file in order to locate the corresponding alert name.
