After onboarding SNMP traps, you can manage and customize how they’re processed and converted into alerts. OpsRamp provides a unified interface to view, modify, and manage trap definitions across different scopes.

You might need to manage SNMP traps when you want to:

• Onboard traps for new devices or vendors
• Customize alert behavior for specific traps
• Apply different configurations for different environments
• Remove unused or noisy trap definitions
• Reuse or migrate trap configurations across environments

Tasks in SNMP trap management

You can perform the following tasks when working with SNMP traps:

View and search traps

• View all SNMP traps across scopes
• Filter and search traps by scope, MIB module, OID, or name
• View detailed information for a selected trap

Add and import traps

• Upload MIB files to add new trap definitions
• Import trap definitions using JSON files

Modify and manage traps

• Edit trap definitions to customize behavior
• Configure severity, conditions, and alert settings
• Copy trap definitions from higher scopes (for example, Global) to your scope
• Remove individual or multiple trap definitions from the current scope
• Export selected traps or all traps in the current view as a JSON file
