In this menu you can find or create a list for passing traps to monitoring process. Traps allow to monitor devices which cannot be retrieved via SNMP. The monitored device sends traps to the SONARPLEX appliance to report certain results.

Trap Filters are used for determining if traps received by SONARPLEX will be passed to monitoring process or blocked otherwise.
