That simplified things for me so much and will make future MIB handling with omnibus much easier for me going forward. With the rules in place, you can use MIB Manager to generate test traps to ensure they are processed as expected. The MttrapD probe then interprets each trap based on a set of rules and breaks the trap event data down into tokens and parses them into elements. Out with the old and in with the new. With the MIBs imported, we can now export them in format that is going to be more useful. The export results in a number of lookup and rules files being created for each of the selected MIBs. This is best illustrated in a diagram.

The Solarwinds products are competitively priced and easy to install and it is this ease of install that negates the need for a company to pay for a consultant to install and build the Solarwinds architecture. One of the downsides of using SNMP is that it can be quite a painful and arduous task to deconstruct the incoming traps and write probe rules to apply the required event formatting and processing logic.

The export results in a number of lookup and rules files being created for each of the selected MIBs. The knock on consequence of this is that there is no event resolution being performed using the rules generated by the MIB Manager as all traps were interpreted as the same type 1-Problem.

As there is no further conditional statement within the case 10 statement the device up alert is created using the same logic as a mmanager down alert. We'll assume you're ok with this, but you can opt-out if you wish.
In simple terms for the MttrapD newbie when a node or interface goes down in Solarwinds, Solarwinds raises a trap and sends the trap to the IP address and port of the MttrapD probe.
