Denis,

 

Thanks for your quick response!

 

Is there any documented limit for netview on windows for recieveing traps, coz my system is not clogged (only 2-3% CPU utilization), but yet netmon is too busy and does not respond to poll requests etc.

Hi,
Best practice for SNMP traps is to control them as close to their source as possible.
So the options are:
- Unconfigure the SNMP stack of your devices so that they do not send any traps
- if you want some of the traps but not all of them to get through, either you can configure that on the device itself (pretty rare but sometimes possible) or you install an MLM somewhere on your network, and you reconfigure your devices to send their traps to this MLM, where you will have filters for the unwanted events. MLM is strong and can handle large amounts of events without taking much resource on the system.

Hope that helps

Denis

Hi List,
 
NV 7.1.4 FP04
Windows 2003 Std SP1
ITSA 1.3
 
Is there a way to filter/limit traps coming in on the netview server before they are processed by 'trapd', one of our customer is facing some serious performance issues coz a lot of unnecessary traps are coming in from different network devices accross the network.
 
 
 
 
Regards,
