EventSentry will log all traps to the application event log with the following event properties:

SNMP Version	Event Source	Event ID
v1, v2c	EventSentry Network Services	600
v3	EventSentry Network Services	601

Settings

By default, no incoming SNMP traps will be logged to the event log. Click the + icon to add strings that will trigger event log alerts.

Include: Log all SNMP traps, except for exclusions below

This setting will log all SNMP traps to the event log. SNMP traps containing strings that are listed below will not be logged to the event log.

Exclude: Only log SNMP traps that are included below

This is the default setting, and will only log SNMP traps to the event log that match the strings listed below. This allows you to only send content to the event log that matches your filters.

Don't forget to add a heading and/or trailing asterisk if you are specifying a partial string match. When filtering traps, EventSentry will evaluate the strings you specify against the trap id, as well as the numerical OIDs, text OIDs and values of all trap bindings.
