I believe the correct answer is B. Configuring Syslog alert actions on the Alert Actions tab seems like the way to go.

I'm not sure, but I think D could also be a valid option. Configuring a new Log Viewer rule might work.

I think the answer is C. We can use Traps in Orion Alerts to configure the default trap alert.

This question is a trap! (Get it, a 'trap' question?) Seriously, though, Option C is the way to go. Traps in Orion Alerts is the easiest way to do this.

Option B - Syslog alert actions. It's the tried and true method, and you can't go wrong with it. Unless you want to spend hours configuring traps, that is.

Option A? Really? Alerting on traps is like breathing in the Orion Platform. What kind of question is this?

I'd have to disagree with Phil - Option B is the way to go. Configuring Syslog alert actions is more flexible and you can do more with it.
