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.

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.
Thanks,
Nick
