Managing Traps Using the Trap Manager › Trap Filters

Trap Filters

The Trap Manager lets you easily manage trap filters stored in the trap filter file. You can use trap filters to filter out traps from appearing on the Event Console. For every incoming trap, the Trap Daemon searches the trap filters file for any filters that apply. If the specified filter criteria are satisfied, the trap is dropped from further processing and does not appear on the Event Console. This can be very helpful if you are only interested in certain traps. You can use the Trap Manager to view, add, edit, or delete trap filters.
