For more information, see section Filter Rules. To categorize received traps as warning messages, define filters using a special syntax. ĭefine which types of traps will count for the Warnings channel. To exclude specific types of traps, define filters using a special syntax. ĭefine which types of traps will be discarded and not processed. To include specific types of traps only, define filters using a special syntax. If you leave this field empty or use the keyword " any ", all data will be processed. Please see below for details about available settings.ĭefine if you want to filter traps. For some sensor types, you can define the monitoring target explicitly in the sensor settings. Note: Usually, a sensor connects to the IP Address or DNS Name of the parent device on which you created this sensor. On the details page of a sensor, click on the Settings tab to change its settings. You can change all settings in the sensor's Settings tab later. Therefore, you will not see all setting fields in this dialog. It only shows the setting fields that are imperative for creating the sensor. The Add Sensor dialog appears when adding a new sensor on a device manually. Be aware that this type of sensor can be removed again from PRTG at any time. Do not expect that all functions will work properly, or that this sensor works as expected at all. The methods of operating can change at any time, as well as the available settings.

Important notice: Currently, this sensor type is in beta status.

Please use it with care! We recommend that you use not more than 50 sensors of this sensor type on each probe.

Note: This sensor type can have a high impact on the performance of your monitoring system.

For a general introduction to the technology behind SNMP, please see manual section Monitoring via SNMP.For a general introduction to the SNMP trap receiver's configuration, please see manual section Monitoring Syslogs and SNMP Traps.Knowledge Base: How do I test an SNMP Trap Receiver Sensor?.You can set it up on a local probe or remote probe only, not on a cluster probe. Note: This sensor type cannot be used in cluster mode.Providing a DNS name that points to the IP address of a whole group might not work for SANs.

For example, if you want to receive traps from a Storage Area Network (SAN), you might have to add a device to PRTG using the IP address of a specific array member that sends the messages.

Note: If you do not add the sensor to a probe device but to another device in PRTG, be careful with the configuration: Ensure that the IP address or DNS name of the parent device matches the proper trap sender.

For example, instead of the Object Identifier (OID) 1.3.6.1.6.1.1.2 you would see SNMPv2-SMI-v1::enterprises.32446.1.1.2 = 0 (example from the PRTG MIB). PRTG will then be able to translate the OIDs for the traps into readable messages.

You can copy the Management Information Base (MIB) file for your traps into the \MIB subfolder of your PRTG installation.

See the Knowledge Base: What placeholders can I use with PRTG?

You can use trap specific placeholders in email notification templates to see the messages when you receive an email notification.

Alternatively, you can add the sensor to a specific device to gain all messages from this device directly this will make this sensor type faster than just using source filters.

You can add the sensor to the probe device on the one hand then the sensor will receive all messages of the system running the probe.

Depending on the filters, received messages will be counted in the respective channels.

With the available filter options, you can define individually which types of messages will be considered for monitoring, and which messages will be recognized as warning or error messages.
