Hi
I have a device that is able to send SNMP Traps to Solarwinds.
Is it possible to have one unique trap to generate an alarm that is visible on a map, and another trap that clears the alarm?
I am not really sure of a great way to do this. You could use the trap viewer to create a rule that sends a message to the event log for the certain traps. You can add a unique number to the one that will be the trigger, and then a unique number to the rule that will be the reset. Then you can write an application in SAM that monitors the event log looking for the text or unique number from the event log entry. I am not overly familiar with the map creation, but you should be able to get an object to mark itself as down based on the status of this application.
If the event is found mark the application has critical, then if the application is critical have the map object change colors. Not sure how to do the reset part of it though. It would require some ingenewitty and studying of the actual traps and possible text that could be used in the event log.
