Adding SNMP trap in 5.5 on a VM

I know how to add a trap for the vCenter Server, or an ESXi host, but have a customer looking to do so in a 5.5 environment on individual VMs, and cannot find the setting. Is this something that can be done?

What type of trap needs to be sent from the VM?

I'm actually given a server, and am told to clone the settings. Looking at where I can see these

Looking under the Alarms tab, but that does not seem right

I'm just not understanding what you want to be notified on and why you can't get that from vCenter.
