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.
Thanks,
Nick
