FWIW, a few months ago I ran into the same issue you just wrote about. I didn't post it here, assuming "I must be doing something wrong, since this feature seems broken so badly they couldn't have released the software this way." Maybe I was wrong. I just learned to live with it. But I'd love to hear if there's something I'm missing. Cheers, Todd. From: Nicholas Satterly [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 2:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Trap description Hi I'm using snmptrapd to call a trap handler and assumed that defining an execute format with "%W" in it would give me the trap description because that is how the man page describes it [1]. However, it seems this only gives me "Enterprise Specific" which is not very useful. Can snmptrapd be configured to supply the description for a trap that is contained in the MIB to a trap handler? If not, can anyone suggest other ways that this description could be obtained when a trap is received? One possibility would be to execute "snmptranslate -Td" for every trap received but this might not scale for systems receiving 100's or 1000's of traps a second. Any help would be appreciated.
