Kelly.... thanks for your response, but we have heard this already from Ipswitch support. Your suggestion doesn't cover for WUG not being able to seperate traps and notices into enough bins.....
the problem is that devices usually do not fit WUG's limited capability of choosing which traps to send notification for. When dumb device sends 10's of traps for one event, all at the same level, WUG sends out all the notifications swamping email and pager boxes. (At least, after working with Ipswitch support and experimenting with WUG for a year now we haven't figured it out. Maybe we are just too dumb!) What I need is some way to filter on text strings in trap/alert messages, and decide which ones to pass on to my SMS phone box or pager.

If you only one to receive notification on specific SNMP traps, when you are assigning an alert to a device, check off the box next to "On SNMP trap" and in the blank box to the right of this option, include the designated trap numbers you wish to receive separated by a comma. This way you will not receive notification on all traps for a specific device, only those which you specify.

When you turn on notification for a device in WUG, you get all traps, etc.... I'm swamping my SMS box, and it gets shutdown..... anyone have a good filtering program that will just let thru the notices I really want...
