Short answers: 1. You can use the contents of the trap to create thresholds. The place to start is here: http://download.intermapper.com/docs/DevGuide/Content/02-CustomProbes/handlingtraps.htm If you have questions after going through the custom probe documentation, open a ticket by emailing [email protected], and we can help. 2. One of the drawbacks to using traps rather than queries is just this: many devices send a trap when there is a problem, but don't send a trap when the problem clears (although many do). If your device is sending a trap when the problem clears, then you need to see #1. If it is not, then the problem is significantly more difficult. I'd have to do a bit of research to figure it out for sure, but it may be possible to create a probe that will clear automatically if it goes for a certain amount of time without a trap. If this seems to be your situation, and this approach might work for you, open a ticket at [email protected], and we can see what we can do. -- Christopher -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.intermapper.com/viewtopic.php?p=3846#3846 ____________________________________________________________________ List archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/intermapper-talk%40list.dartware.com/ To unsubscribe: send email to: [email protected]
