I want to notify CIM Indications by snmp trap

[Tetsuo1003]

I set hwsrc to indication in the snmp settings on ESXi 6.7 and 7.0. However, snmp traps weren't send to a snmp manager. I was able to send a test trap by running the following the command.

# esxcli system snmp test

Therefore, I think that the indication has not been notified. Is there any setting that enables Indication?

Thank you for replying.

I read vSphere Monitoring and Performance. Howerver, I think that I had already set snmp agent settings.  Am I missing any settings?

My environment is following:
