James,
I just made a copy of trapd.conf and added another
enterprise OID as NOKIA-SYS with OID as
1.3.6.1.4.1.94.1.21.1(without 0). Now when the traps
came , they are formatted right as below.
 
" systemTrapLowDiskSpace - NOKIA-SYS 6 4 4 args:  [1]
hrPartitionEntry.hrPartitionIndex.3.1 (Integer): 1 
[2] hrPartitionEntry.hrPartitionLabel.3.1
(OctetString): /dev/wd0f  [3]
hrPartitionEntry.hrPartitionSize.3.1 (Integer): 396952
 [4]
host.hrDevice.hrFSTable.hrFSEntry.hrFSMountPoint.1
(OctetString): /  "

This trap's event name is systemtrapLowDisSpace. So
what am i supposed to understand from this trap
message. That there is low disk space on /dev/wdof? am
i right? Is there a way to trim this message more
meanfull? b'cos the message never said that there low
disk space.
Thanks again..
Larry
