Trap Service errors in Event Log

I get a couple of thousand of these messages every day. I have tried reinstalling the MIB database to correct with no change. Can anyone help?

Are you using an event forwarder?

This is the Solarwinds event log on the Orion machine. So not it is not forwarding event logs anywhere, but there are machines that are forwarding its logs to this machine.

I'm getting a similar error that is causing the alerting engine to not send some alerts or resets. All my alerts are setup as advanced alerts and each is set to write to the event log & syslog, and send out a trap.

Any word on this issue? I'm still getting it while running version 9 with SP1.

We are getting the same error message and it practically locks up the box. We have the Trap Service stopped right now to alteast be able to use Solarwinds. Should I open a ticket?
