Trap Console Overview


OidView SNMP Trap Manager is a fault management and SNMP TRAP Receiver and analysis tool that captures SNMP information such as Traps, Notifications, and Informs sent from various agents and devices on a computer network. OidView Trap Manager is a Trap Console application and will run on any Windows operating system. It uses standard SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 protocols to decode packets from devices on the network (e.g. routers, switches, printers, servers, probes, etc).

The Trap Management Service is incredibly powerful, versatile fault manager trap console and offers many features not found in even the top Fault Management solutions. The OidView Trap Console offers an easy way to view traps, alarms, and faults on local or remote machines. Because TMS can run as a service, there is no need to administer the console locally, so an engineer can make changes or review alams remotely using OidView Trap Manager. It has been designed for a variety of uses, including:
  • Fully Featured Fault Management Solution
  • Trap Forwarding (Single or Multiple hosts)
  • Trap Collection and Storage
  • Comprehensive Trap Console
  • Debugging of SNMP Traps

Trap Manager is capable of handling thousands of traps each second and storing millions of alarms. Not only can it receive traps but it can also send snmp traps from the trap console. It uses patent-pending MIBAcquire technology to download and install MIBs when an Alarm is unknown by the system.

Following are just some of Trap Manager's features:

  • Out of the box support for over 11,000 different events
  • Monitor and administer local or remote TMS installations
  • Runs as a windows service, maximizing uptime
  • Client/Server Architecture
  • Powerful Deduplication of Alarms
  • Accepts Secure SNMPv3 Notifications
  • Alerting and Notification through the Notifier
  • Automatic clearing of traps using condition matching
  • Customization of Trap Filters
  • Dynamic assignment of severities
  • One-Touch administration via OidView UI
  • Forwarding of Traps to Multiple Managers (globally or per filter)
  • Log all incoming alarms to text files
  • Variety of display options
  • AutoStatus daemon
  • Highly Customizable

Filters and Conditions can be built using a graphical user interface,
not just text files and scripts

Trap Manager allows complete filter customization, showing the available filters loaded into memory in a hierarchical tree-like structure, with the filter object represented by the top-level node and Conditions nested underneath. Filters allow alarms to be classified and acted upon in numerous ways. Alarms can be categorized into buckets, assigned severities, notification profiles, etc. OidView comes with a pre-loaded trap filter configuration file "out of the box" with pre-set filters for generic events, as well as alarms from both Cisco and Juniper network gear.
