You can import SNMP trap definitions using a JSON file. This allows you to reuse existing configurations, migrate trap definitions across environments, or bulk onboard traps without uploading MIB files.
The JSON file can contain one or more trap definitions.
Note
Imported trap definitions are added to the current scope. Existing traps with the same OID may be overridden or skipped based on the configuration.Before you begin
- Ensure the JSON file contains valid SNMP trap definitions with valid OID.
- Verify that the file structure matches the supported format
- Confirm that you have permissions to import trap definitions
- Go to Setup → Account → Monitoring → Metrics & Events → SNMP Traps.
- Click Import JSON from the top-left corner of the page from more (…) menu. The IMPORT JSON dialog box appears.
- Upload the JSON file from your local system.
- Review the imported trap definitions (if preview is available).
- Click Import JSON to complete the process.
Trap definitions from the JSON file are added to the current scope. You can view and manage them in the SNMP Traps list.
Note
Ensure that the JSON file follows the supported schema. Invalid or unsupported fields may cause the import to fail.Troubleshooting import issues
If the import fails, check the following:
- Invalid JSON format or syntax errors
- Missing required fields in trap definitions
- Duplicate OIDs causing conflicts
- Unsupported or malformed data in the file
