Nagios Support Forum

I have SNMP traps working with NAGIOS XI, and I am able to get interface number when a trap comes. However, it would be very useful to receive the interface description, the same parameter thar is captured when you add a new SNMP capable device to Nagios (a switch or router, for instance). Any idea how it could be done?

This would require adding another mib/oid to the trap. Do an snmpwalk on the device to discover the oid for the description.
