Re: [NV-L] Flitering Traps on NetView 7.1.4

[Denis Peuziat <dpeuziat@amadeus.com>]

Hi,
Best practice for SNMP traps is to control
them as close to their source as possible.
So the options are:
- Unconfigure the SNMP stack of your
devices so that they do not send any traps
- if you want some of the traps but
not all of them to get through, either you can configure that on the device
itself (pretty rare but sometimes possible) or you install an MLM somewhere
on your network, and you reconfigure your devices to send their traps to
this MLM, where you will have filters for the unwanted events. MLM is strong
and can handle large amounts of events without taking much resource on
the system.

Hope that helps

Denis

Hi List,
 
NV 7.1.4 FP04
Windows 2003 Std SP1
ITSA 1.3
 
Is there a way to filter/limit traps coming in on the
netview server before they are processed by 'trapd', one of our customer
is facing some serious performance issues coz a lot of unnecessary traps
are coming in from different network devices accross the network.
