cpqDaTrapPkts is a Counter giving the total number of trap packets the drive array enterprise has issued since the instrument agent was loaded. This gives an admin a quick way to confirm the SNMP agent is actively generating notifications at all, useful when troubleshooting why expected alerts aren't arriving at a management station. For example, if this counter stays at zero despite a known drive failure, an admin would suspect a trap-forwarding configuration problem rather than assuming no alertable events occurred.
