      Thanks Orion,

       

      I believe the link you pointed to requires agent to be deployed on to Linux box, since my appliance does not support deploying OMS agent, is it possible to send SNMP Traps without deploying agent from appliance to OMS

        You would run a Linux server as a SNMP trap receiver (snmptrapd). You could spin up a small Linux server in Azure and us it to collect SNMP alerts from multiple appliances.
