Actually, Mark,
I created that name myself (CleverSoft-Candle-6.6). That name in the trap
message is actually the DISPLAY NAME that I gave it. I know that because
in further testing, I had recreated an SNMP trap under the name csc66 and
csc66 would then show up in the same location in the SNMP trap message.
Here's what I did:
imported the CleverSoft MIB to WUG
EVENTS LIBRARY-SNMP TRAPS didn't see specific CleverSoft entries in there
so I created new entries for the trap numbers that I wanted, based on what
I see for trap messages coming from my Notes servers in the activity log
there are 6 specific CleverSoft-Candle SNMP traps that I want to notify on
(6.1 thru 6.6)
And my Notes engineers told me which which servers (devices in WUG) to
configure for 6.1 and 6.6, and which servers to configure for all 6 of them
so in creating a new one, I'd name it CleverSoft-Candle-6.1 and on down the
line......
then I chose 6 Enterprise Specific under GENERAL TYPE
then under ENTERPRISE/OID I browsed the MIBs to
CleverSoft-IntelliwatchMonitor-iwtrap
selections under iwtrap were trapString, trapNumber and trapServer
I chose trapNumber, but there is no further drill-down to pick a specific
trap or number
so with the OID I get when selecting trapNumber, I decided to put 1 in the
INSTANCE field for CleverSoft-Candle-6.1
then I did the same procedure for creating 6.2 thru 6.6 (putting 2,3,4,5,6
in the INSTANCE field for each one)
I'm not too sure about how I went about that, so that's when I decided that
I'd try to just capture a text string in the traps and try to set up SNMP
trap notification based on the text string.
I'll try to make some sense with what you said below, but if you (or
anybody else in the forum) could offer any further clarification, based on
what I said above, then I'd appreciate it. Thank you........

Chris,
The fact that your log contains "CleverSoft-Candle-6.6" (instead of a raw
OID) indicates that you have already got the appropriate MIB compiled into
MIB.TXT/TRAPS.TXT. Thus, the appropriate event should already be listed in
your event library. All you then have to do is associate it with the
device on the map that will generate the event.
If you want to create the event definition from scratch then the easiest
way is to use the Autofill feature - seeing as how you've already got a log
entry for the trap that you are interested in. This would involve pasting
the log line into the "New SNMP Event" dialog. This autofills the OID and
Major/Minor type fields for you. Once this is done there would be no need
to bother with a payload check unless there was something else that needed
to be tested for. For instance, one could have a trap from an
environmental monitor where the payload check could examine the temperature
- data which is not part of the OID of the trap.
One observation... if you do create payload checks then bear in mind that
they use regular expressions. The dot in "CleverSoft-Candle-6.6" is a
regex metacharacter that means "any character". So you would also get a
match against (say) "CleverSoft-Candle-6a6" Of course, it's not likely
that you will get a false match in reality for such a long string.

Hi, people.
Ever since my SNMP traps notifications started failing, I have been unable
to successfully get them back in normal working order again. I even did a
complete re-install of WUG. At any rate, I want to try capturing SNMP
traps by searching for a particular string in the trap message. Here is a
test SNMP trap generated on one of our Notes servers.
20020227 103815 EVENT SNMP Trap/Unsolicited 192.168.66.21
Trap(CleverSoft-Candle-6.6) trapString.0="test from adminhub01"
trapNumber.0=6 trapServer.0=ADMINHUB01/Keane Addr:192.168.66.21 Int:6 Int:6
Tick:"12 days 08:10:43"
So, I go into NEW SNMP TRAP EVENT
I give it a display name of CSC6.6
under Payload, I add the string CleverSoft-Candle-6.6 to the MATCH ON box
that's with no parentheses or quotation marks........CleverSoft-Candle-6.6
I then add the new SNMP trap event to the device
I then add the new SNMP trap event to the device's notification to the
Notes pager
Question: Should this work, as I've configured it above? Did I select a
valid string of chars from the actual SNMP message above?
Thanks..........
