Do you need to leave the MIBs you load into Zen in the MIBs directory
for Zen to be able to parse the trap?  Do you also need to load the
standard mibs into Zen such as the ones in the ietf directory along with
your vendor mibs?  When you put a MIB in Zen would it also be a good
practice to copy it to the net:snmp mibs directory?  

On a side note, I found the correct OID, I can do an SNMP walk and get
back the value from my device, but Zen keep throwing an error that the
OID is bad even though I double checked it and all looks fine.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks

Wes

For net-snmp you have to copy the files to /usr/share/snmp/mibs and  
then pass the -m ALL argument to snmpwalk/snmptranslate.

For zenoss you have to copy the mib files into $ZENHOME/share/mibs/ 
site and run the zenmib command.  The admin guide has additional  
details.

Once the MIBs are imported into zenoss you'll see a translation of  
event OIDs to names.

If you're trying to get the number of client vpn sessions you'll need  
to determine what OID returns that value and then set up a  
performance template that captures that OID.  You don't need to do  
anything with mib files if all you want to do is capture the number  
of VPN sessions - all you need to do is add the OID to a performance  
template.
