Is it possible to filter SNMP traps?
Posted: Sun Apr 08, 2012 10:50 pm
I'm evaluating Nagios XI and would like to use SNMP traps on a series of switches that comprise our fiber ring to indicate when/if a fiber is cut.
Our switches aren't granular enough to let us control which ports send a SNMP trap when it has a changed state (up/down), so we receive a trap alert each time a tech plugs into a switch or when a server reboots etc.
Is there a way in Nagios to filter the SNMP trap data so it alerts only when it meets criteria (like when one specific port changes state)?
Thanks!
