SNMP Trap passive monitors in the library
The SNMP Trap monitors listed in the Passive Monitor Library are based on one of three
things:
Passive monitors already in the database. By default, the passive monitor database
comes with a few of the most Common SNMP traps already in it.
Passive monitors automatically created by WhatsUp Gold Trap Definition
Import Tool. Use the Trap Definition Import Tool to create SNMP Traps from MIB files
stored in the \Program Files\Ipswitch\WhatsUp\Data\Mibs folder.
Passive monitors that you define yourself. This can be done either by copying and
pasting actual trap information directly from your existing logs, or by browsing the
MIB for OID values that you are interested in, and adding the Generic type (Major)
and Specific type (Minor) information if required.
