Hello, Well the thing is that I have PRTG Network Monitor sensing some devices and computers on my network, now I would like my PRTG to recieve SNMP Traps from these devices and send as a log of events or a syslog to my e-mail. So my question is: Is that possible?, and if that is possible how should I configure the PRTG Network Monitor and what do I need to configure on the devices..

I will appreciate your answers and help

Regards. Andrew

I Apologize, cause I'm new in PRTG, however the reason why I wrote is because there is no enough information, I reviewd very well the links you post ando aso manny other posts, but i cannot find the answer for my question.

If is not possible to do that with my PRTG Network Monitor, I will have to use another alternative.

So if you can help me!! I will be really thankfull with you.

PRTG can receive Traps, but we can't tell you how to configure your devices how to send traps. If then PRTG receives a trap, you can "forward" it as a Syslog message, by using a Change Trigger on the Trap Sensor, and using the %message placeholder to also forward the content of the trap.

Note: This only applies to PRTG versions prio 14.1.x!

Thanks, I have a device sending traps, and its pointing to PRTG IP address, but how do I see if PRTG is receiving the traps how do I point my PRTG to the device that is sending the trap.

Thank u again

You see that PRTG receives the trap if your Trap Sensor in PRTG shows that.

Thank you very much for all of your answers,

It seems like PRTG can not do what I need, I will have to look after other solution.

Thanks!.
