NPM 2022.3 upgrade wiped out custom trap templates

Our Solarwinds installation includes several custom trap templates used to forward alerts into IBM Tivoli Netcool.

After our NPM 2022.3 upgrade Netcool stopped receiving traps from Solarwinds.

On investigation: NPM upgrade wiped out my custom trap templates. My SNMP trap actions for alerts now configured for the "ForwardSysLog" template (!).

I have the custom templates backed up and can replace them - assuming I can figure out where the upgrade moved the trap template location.

Agree with the community member who posted 'not to fresh' install of 2022.3. I am not pleased with this upgrade.

Cheers.

Ohh... the upgrade wiped out ALL of the .TRAP files on the main polling server. Only trap templates present are ForwardSysLog, Orion-Generic-Alert (new?), Orion-Detailed-Alert (new?).

Thank the Maker I have my custom Netcool trap templates backed up somewhere else. Restoring the templates to the \Orion folder permits my Netcool traps to work again - so far.
