Hi
I have a device which supports snmp v1/v2. But i need to verify if it is sending traps or not.
Kindly advice how this is possible with PRTG.

Hi, Thanks. I did and if i click on the sensor it turns green but I don't see the trap message which is expected to show under "Trap Messages". Do i need any additional configuration to see trap messages? Do i need to change the localhost ip (127.0.0.1) of the PRTG?
Kindly advice.
Thanks you.
