I use Syslogd from Kiwi Enterprises to filter SNMP and Syslog messages sent to our WUG server. It cost about $100.00 to get the full featured version. It works great filtering unwanted messages out and only sending ones you want to know about to WUG. Then use WUG to process notifications on the alerts.

When it decides that there is a trap of interest it will fire off a trap to WUG.... I got to thinking along these lines and it sure would be nice if WUG could. 1. Bring in an problem alert. (could be a switch/router down etc) 2. Fire off a batch file/program which attempts remediation on the problem. This batch file depending on the results of the remediation would either fail or succeed. 3. After the batch is done (pass/fail) WUG would either continue the notification process or stop. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Auger, Jay (IS) Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 9:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [WhatsUp Forum] Filtering of SNMP traps There are some command line syslog tools that you could incorporate into your batch file and then alert on the results of your filter back to whatsup.

I have Whatsup Gold 8.04 and have a question. I am working with a wireless accesspoint that can send SNMP traps when it detects other accesspoints that are potentially "Rogue" accesspoints. I have setup WUG to notify on these traps but the problem is that the AP's also report my known accesspoints. What I need to do is setup WUG to filter the traps so it only sends the notification message if they are not in the known good list. I set up WUG to fire off a batch file that decides if it is good or not but don't know how to report the result back to WUG so it can notify me. Is there a way from a batch file to fire off an WUG event? Thanks Tom Davis Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
