You are doing the right kind of thing but perhaps you have the details
wrong.
The snmptrap you sent is for a trap with the Cisco enterprise id of
".1.3.6.4.1.9.5 " and the specific id of "9".  Is that the exact trap you
set to "Log Only"?
If not, then that is why it showed up.  If you changed one with the
specific id of "2" for example, and then sent one with a "9", then "9"
would stiil default to being seen.

What does the trap entry you customized say?  What enterprise and what trap
id?

If you are just sure you set the right one, what does the entry for it say
in /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf?
If you look at it there, does it say "Log Only"?

Hello,

Jane, thanks for the info. I did what you suggested. (logging  only via
trap customization) No traps were received in events "display" window  for
the past hour. I tried testing it using snmptrap; and it showed up in the
event log. I thought it wouldnt show up.

snmptrap servername .1.3.6.4.1.9.5  othermachine 6 9 0

is this correct, should it have displayed in the events.
Is there another way of testing this?

Please advise

If you want to prevent everyone from seeing an event in a  workspace, use
Trap Customisation (from the Options menu) and specify your  particular
trap as "Log Only".  That way, no-one sees it but it will  appear in
/usr/OV/log/trapd.log, for audit purposes.  If you don't need  the record
at all, set the event to "Don't Log or  Display".

Cheers,
Jane
