SNMP Trap test method?
This option was designed in order to check value of the counter. You cannot check value of the counter that does not exist, so "except" option is not available.

May be SNMP Trap Watcher?
Do you use IP-Tools software? There is IP-Tools dedicated forum:

Anyway, my answer can be applied for SNMP Trap Watcher utility as well.

ya i mean the trap watcher (it called trap listener).

i monitore a Component who send some messages via snmp and HM receive and replace all incomming snmp traps but i don't need all traps or want to disable some traps in HM. (or hm should ignore some OID's).

i can enable the method "reply contain oid" but i want to use "ignore trap with follow oid"

for example:
accept follow ID : 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.*.*
ignore follow ID : 1.3.6.1.2.2.2.*.*

So, you are using HostMonitor and "SNMP Trap" test method? Not IP-Tools and Trap Watcher utility?
Sorry, there is no such option

Heini_net,
I've yet to play around with SNMP trap method (Alex, it's on my list

).
But couldn't you accomplish this by setting an Alert action to ignore certain OID's, or alternatively, only respond to certain ones? You might need to tune your reply in order for this to work, but it is possible isn't it?

a but these functions are not available.. i nee a method to ignore some OID's because i dont know all OID's from a component who send many traps..

If you are using HostMonitor (not IP-Tools) then you may try Optional status processing
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... processing
E.g. you may mark "Use Normal status" option and provide expression like not ('1.3.6.1.2.2.2' in '%TrapAllValues%')
