From the Manage SNMP Events the User can add multiple Events simply by clicking 'Save New' and entering new information into the Name, Vendor Name, and Trap Identifier fields. The User can also navigate between multiple records, clear the current record, or delete. All of these features are better described in the Critical Interfaces Getting Started section of the Wiki.

The SNMP Log is a record of all SNMP Traps that PCR-360 is monitoring. This is particularly useful if the User doesn't know what the Trap Identifier is and wishes to trigger an event to record that Trap Identifier.
View
Double-Clicking any trap identifier will bring up the 'Manage SNMP Log'. A user can change the Status of the Trap, however, the rest of the data here is read only. From here an Administrator can copy the Trap Identifier field to create an SNMP Event. Within this dialog an Administrator can view the date and time stamp for the Trap as well as any other critical data associated with that Trap.
Reissue Trap Alert
This will Reissue a given Trap alert. This is useful for Triggering an Event in PCR-360 for Events that were not created when a given Trap was received. For example, a Trap comes into the Log and then the Administrator created an Event for the Trap. If the Administrator wished to test to make sure the Event was triggering correctly, the Administrator only needs to Select the Trap to test and simply click the Reissue Trap Alert button and click yes to confirm.
The Event should fire now, with any related Notifications and Escalations being sent out. It should be noted because this is essentially a test event the Administrator will need to resolve any Notifications and Escalations that trigger as a result according to organizational guidelines.
Add Event for Trap
This is similar functionality as the SNMP Add Event with one small modification. Here the User only needs to select the Trap Identifier before selecting the 'Add Event for Trap' button. The Trap Identifier will auto fill and the Administrator will only need to add an Event Name and the Vendor Name.
Ignore Trap
Clicking the Ignore Trap will flag a Trap to be Ignored permanently. Any future Traps from that source will no longer be added to the SNMP Log.
Ignore
This is a listing of all ignored SNMP Trap Identifiers. Any Traps that are listed here will not be recorded in the SNMP Log. This is useful to blacklist Traps that the Admin does not wish to receive on an on going basis.
...
This will remove a Trap Identifier from the Ignore list. This will allow PCR-360 to resume tracking of that Trap. Simply select the Ignored Trap that is desired to be tracked. Click the 'Delete Selected' button and the event will now be tracked in the SNMP Log again.
