Nice idea - don't think it will work. trapd.log doesn't have all the trap variables recorded. Are you still working on Windows or have you swapped to Unix? If Unix, you could write a ruleset that fires on selected (or all) events and calls a little shellscript that dumps all the trap information to a file. You could then copy that file and munge it to add snmptrap commands to replay selected events.

Cheers,
Jane

Hi list,
I'm just in the middle of testing some nv rules / tec integration & I've had a thought (possibly the 1st!) about being able to regenerate traps sent to netview for testing? Typically a trap would have been sent to a customers live netview box, possibly without the trap formatting in place & I need to reproduce it on my machines & do rules/tec stuff. The trap will come from a device I won't have access to so I can't easily re-generate it. Is the trapd.log contents complete & a standard form I can pull out and form a call to snmptrap, or is there a trace that needs to be set that would cause it to contain the full trap and it's variables? Many thanks in advance K ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
