Larry,

You would be better off search the web for the MIB and using mib2trap.  The
manual method is much more prone to error.

You don't know any of the OIDs -- the actual varbinds sent in the trap.
That's why I suggested you  change the definition to $*  or just add it to
the existing definition so that they will print out in trapd.log.   Not
having any OIDs means that you cannot map them to shorthand labels in the
OID file to be used in the CDS.  So you have to select the variables in the
CDS blind, by number not by name.  I think this will work.

CLASS  cpqHe3FltTolPowerRedundancyLost
  SELECT
      1: ATTR(=,$ENTERPRISE), VALUE(PREFIX, "1.3.6.1.4.1.232.2");
      2: $SPECIFIC = 6032;
      3: ATTR(=,"VB_3") ;
  MAP
      msg = PRINTF ("The Power Supplies are no longer redundant on Chassis
%s,  $V3);
END,

James,
Thank You so much for excellent explanation. I'm trying to minimize pain by
adding manually in .cds & oid files rather than re inventing the wheel .
Now Please walk me through with one example...
I have a Compaq Trap definition ---OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.232  Specific # is
6032 and generic # 6
Trap description "The Power Supplies are no longer redundant on Chassis
$3."
Trap name "cpqHe3FltTolPowerRedundancyLost"
Severity "Warning"

How Do i define these in .CDS & OID file?
Thanks,
Larry
