Ones you have defined at least one trap filter, trap receiver will use them in order to decide, if a trap is worth to be passed to appropriate service for further analyze. In sample above we are interested in traps coming from device 195.190.0.99, which is a OKI printer device. This one has to be defined as a host within SONARPLEX configuration. Now we can bind services based on plugin check_azeti_trap_hostbound to this host. By Analyzing trap history we found out, that if bound data are containing string SID**1, printer is in state OK, SID**2 and SID**5 are indicating different problems. Therefore service definition looks like this:
