hi scottwilkerson,

hi scottwilkerson,

yes you are right. want to clarify on :

1. how/when Nagios XI will send traps using the Trap Sender component correct?
2. notifications vs alerts
3. where in Nagios web can i find the alerts that were sent through snmp trapsender

for imported services, we are using templates.
