After onboarding SNMP traps, you can manage and customize how they’re processed and converted into alerts. OpsRamp provides a unified interface to view, modify, and manage trap definitions across different scopes.

You might need to manage SNMP traps when you want to:

• Onboard traps for new devices or vendors
• Customize alert behavior for specific traps
• Apply different configurations for different environments
• Remove unused or noisy trap definitions
• Reuse or migrate trap configurations across environments

Tasks in SNMP trap management

You can perform the following tasks when working with SNMP traps:

View and search traps

• View all SNMP traps across scopes.
• Filter and search traps.
  • Filter: The Filter option allows you to filter the SNMP traps based on scope, MIB Module, Trap Exclude.
    To filter SNMP traps:
    1. Click Filter.
       
       
       
    2. Under Defined for, select one or more scopes to filter by, such as Global, Service Provider, Partner, or Client.
    3. Enter a MIB Module name to filter traps that belong to a specific MIB module.
    4. Select the Exclude checkbox to list only the traps that are excluded from generating alerts in OpsRamp. Leave it unselected to view all traps, regardless of their exclude status.
    5. Click Apply to apply the filter. The filtered results appear.
  • Search: You can search using Trap name or OID.
    
    
    
• View detailed information for a selected trap.

Add and import traps

• Upload MIB files to add new trap definitions
• Import trap definitions using JSON files

Modify and manage traps

• Edit trap definitions to customize behavior
• Configure severity, conditions, and alert settings
• Copy trap definitions from higher scopes (for example, Global) to your scope
• Remove individual or multiple trap definitions from the current scope
• Export selected traps or all traps in the current view as a JSON file
