[WhatsUp Forum] SNMP Traps

[Goran Jovanovic]

Title: Message

Hi all,   I just started to evaluate WUG today. Figured out the linked maps and got that working.   Now my big question is this. I want to receive SNMP traps from various devices (such as Compaq servers). These traps will tell me when a power supply fails of if a drive in an array fails etc (hardware stuff). I set another server to sent traps and I know that it sent them but I cannot get WUG to display anything regarding the SNMP trap. I got my server on the map and it is being polled via ICMP (is green) and I went into properties and under events selected Any SNMP trap (I even went in and found the Compaq Power Supply Failure trap). But when I pull the power on one of the power supplies nothing is shown on the map. My triangle in the top left corner is still there and still white.   I complied the Compaq MIBs into the system so I can see all the traps.   Any ideas on what I am missing?   Also based on what I am seeing I am going to have to go into each server and associate the traps I want to be displayed / trapped for each server. Is that correct?   Thanks all.            Goran Jovanovic      The LAN Shoppe      2345 Yonge Street, Suite 302      Toronto, Ontario M4P 2E5      Phone: (416) 440-1167 x-2113      Cell: (416) 931-0688      E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]     -----Original Message----- From: Pete Jenney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 9:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Multiple Map Dependencies   Hi Guys,   It's me, Pete, your friendly neighborhood WhatsUp product manager, and I'm listening.  You are all going to be very pleased with the 9.0 product due in Q1/2004, details later.  We'll be looking for beta testers later in the year and Kelly Anderson, the Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold Diva will be looking for volunteers.  We also have some very cool new plug-ins that will need testing by folks with some specific application monitoring requirements.  Send me private mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a phone number and we'll chat.   Oh,  I'm still waiting for the info I asked for re. voice modems a while ago.  If you get a minute please run that .exe I sent a while back and drop me a line.  Thanks a million!   Cheers! pete.;1 -)-------------- Peter H.

Here is an idea of a entire new way for WUG to think about maps... How about one master table of all devices, similar to one huge map.  Make this database in a format that can easily be edited (like access or MySQL). Then start creating maps that point to the devices.  You can have a map with one, twenty or all devices on it.  You can have the same device on EVERY map if you want.  When you need to change a name or other attribute on a item, you only have to change it once (in the Master Table). Maps are really just views to a subset of devices.  This would reduce the number of times a device needs pinged if it is on several maps. Is this a workable solution??? Steve
