My best option on getting SNMP values (couldn't make it work with WUG) was to use SNMX scripting to grab the SNMP value (such as server room temp) and post it that way.
As far as custom messages, I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I made it so the 'notes' field is directly editable for status reports. When a server is down, the notes field shows up on the main page next to the server that's down with a report such as "Server down for maintenance until 14:30 4/8/04" or "Problem Acknoledged by user jdoe, ETA 2hrs fix". And so on. Mainly for use by our NOC to easily report status to other NOC crew that might come on a different shift while a server is still down. That way they don't have to flip through trouble tickets from the last 12hours to see why things are down or whatever... hope that helps! Bryan >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/7/2004 11:06:57 AM >>> I have WUG 8.03 Release 2003.11.03 on W2k SP4 Does anyone know of a way to put custom messages inside of a device object, say in the info 1 or 2 area? The problem I am facing is with SNMP traps. For normal SMTP notifications, I have something like %n (%a) %Z has been %u since %t %d, which tells me the server name, address, service and status. For SNMP traps, I want different info, but I don't want to have to setup separate SMTP notifications for each person, for each SNMP trap. I would rather be able to create a generic SMTP notification of something like %1 , and on each device, put in a custom message. This may seem unnecessary, but if you are pulling SNMP info off 5 devices, and then have to send it to 10 people per device, that is a lot of SMTP mail to set up. I hope I was clear on this, reading over it again it seems a bit rambled, but I think you will get the picture. PS, If you can put variables into the info areas, what is the syntax, when I tried I just got an email saying "(hhmsSensorName) temp is (hhmsSensorStatus)" instead of "ServerRoom temp is 72".
