Change the severity of snmptraps

When importing MIB files, I see that all snmptraps are defined with a default severity of Normal.
Is there a way to quickly (maybe not using the webinsterface) change the severity of a number of traps?

Unfortunately no, it's a onsey-twosey kind of operation.

Hmm, I have 1744 traps defined, but all are of a Normal severity. But I think a lot of them should be changed to either Warning or Critical. Otherwise traps don't make sense if they are not alerting.

Are you using the SNMP Trap Interface to manage all of your traps? If yes then we may need to do an SQL query to bulk change them.
If you are using the standard SNMP configuration then it would be a matter of bulk editing /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf.

We are using the snmp interface in NagiosXI.

So the way to do it right now is to edit the config and re-import it.
Copy the current config file:
Code: Select all
cp /etc/snmp/snmptt.conf.nxti /tmp/snmptt.conf.nxti
Then edit it as required.
Then run the import script so the changes are added back in:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nxti_import.php /tmp/snmptt.conf.nxti
At this point you would go into the SNMP Trap Interface > Advanced > Restore SNMPTT Configuration and it would be applied BUT that didn't work for me ... however simply de-activating a service and re-activating it did work for me.
