Activate notification when you receive a trap

Hey Fernando,

Thank you very much for your KB-posting.

Using the Warning- and Error-filters in the sensor settings, you can force the sensor to WARNING or DOWN state if the sensor receives a specific SNMP Trap message.

However, it is not possible to forward this particular message or any parts of it within a notification.

The only thing which can be forwarded is a summary of the last 20 messages by using the placeholder %trapmessages

For details, please refer to:

Best regards,
Sven

Hello! Is there any way to do this in the latest version? I mean about to send the latest received snmp trap message within a notification.

Hey SistemaDIT,

Unfortunately no, the answer above is still valid - nothing has changed in the behavior here.

Best, Sven
