I think James found, like me the portion of your question stating
"are not displaying all relevant information in the trapd.log file"
the vague part. Your follow up clarifies that you meant the OID is
only partially text, and the rest is numeric.
James further indicated that it's the v1 mib database that is queried
to resolve those numeric OID's, and hence requiring v1 versions of the
relvant mibs be loaded with xnmloadmib if you are to address that
issue.
To get a v1 version of the mib file, contact the vendor. If your
experience mirrors mine, not many of them have both v1 and v2
versions. There are some utilities out there that will translate mib
files from v2 to v1 formats, the ones I've tried briefly have been
quite a pain.
