After onboarding SNMP traps, you can manage and customize how they’re processed and converted into alerts. OpsRamp provides a unified interface to view, modify, and manage trap definitions across different scopes.

You might need to manage SNMP traps when you want to:

  • Onboard traps for new devices or vendors
  • Customize alert behavior for specific traps
  • Apply different configurations for different environments
  • Remove unused or noisy trap definitions
  • Reuse or migrate trap configurations across environments

Tasks in SNMP trap management

You can perform the following tasks when working with SNMP traps:

View and search traps

  • View all SNMP traps across scopes
  • Filter and search traps by scope, MIB module, OID, or name
  • View detailed information for a selected trap

Add and import traps

  • Upload MIB files to add new trap definitions
  • Import trap definitions using JSON files

Modify and manage traps

  • Edit trap definitions to customize behavior
  • Configure severity, conditions, and alert settings
  • Copy trap definitions from higher scopes (for example, Global) to your scope
  • Remove individual or multiple trap definitions from the current scope
  • Export selected traps or all traps in the current view as a JSON file
