'SNMP trap' Test

Post by BillB »

For the 'SNMP trap' test, in addition to numeric Trap Type as a reply option, it would be immensely helpful to me to be able to display the trap text as defined in the MIB. I am aware that this would require some extra processing, but it would be extremely helpful and easy to read for our operators.

Example:
Trap Type - Specific (6.6050)
Trap Text - Power Supply Failed

Thanks,

Yes, we plan to add some new options to this test method. Medium priority.
BTW you may use variables like %TrapType% , %EnterpriseName%, %EnterpriseNameShort% in your reports, e-mail alerts, etc.

Thank You. This will allow us to view Router trap messages, and HP SIM(CIM) trap messages and their values by creating only one test per device. This will allow us to use HostMonitor as a rollup platform for all of our infrastructure and application alerting. I look forward to these changes.
