[nv-l] VMWare Virtual Center traps--anyone using them; anyone fixed them?

["Van Order, Drew \(US - Hermitage\)" <dvanorder@deloitte.com>]

Hi all,

We're in a tight spot. VMWare's traps for Virtual Center 1.1 have a known problem with the vpxdTrap, but VMWare support is not fixing it. I've mib2trapped the concat'd mibs (attached) and there is a formatting problem according to trapd. I'd like to fix this myself if possible. I've searched the archives and see good information about manually configuring traps but don't know where to start. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Thanks--Drew

Trapd.conf settings:

vpxdTrap {1.3.6.1.4.1.6876} 6 201 A 4 0 "Status Events"
$E $G $S $# args: $*
EVENT_CLASS vpxdTrap
SDESC
This trap is sent when entity status changed.
EDESC

Trapd.log output:
