MG-SOFT Trap Ringer Professional Edition Screen Shots

Trap Ringer main window displays details of each received notification message. The left panel of the main window contains a list of received notification messages. Clicking a notification message in the list, displays all details about the message in the upper right panel. Clicking the enterprise line or a binding in the upper right panel, displays all details about the relevant OID as specified in the MIB module that defines that OID.

Output Manager Preferences window - two examples of setting the preferences for processing received SNMP notifications. Users have full control over what information about SNMP notifications will be included into e-mail (and SMS) messages sent and HTML reports generated by Trap Ringer by using reserved words (marked with $) that represent notification attributes and combining them with arbitrary text.

MG-SOFT Trap Ringer Professional Edition lets you configure filters for receiving only those notification messages that match the filter conditions. You can add any number of filters to output units (Console, Mail, Command, Log, etc.), where each filter contains one or more filter conditions. The intuitive and user-friendly interface for configuring filter conditions lets you configure complex filter conditions in a straightforward manner. Configured filters can be saved to files and later assigned to other output units.

Trap Ringer now lets you select a received SNMP notification in the main window and run the filter wizard to create a filter for receiving or blocking SNMP notifications that have the same attributes in no time. The wizard automatically creates the filter conditions that match the attributes of the selected notification and offers you the option to edit them (step 1). To complete the wizard, simply choose the output unit (e.g., Mail, SMS, Log, etc.) to which you want to attach the filter (step 2).

Trap Ringer can load any number of standard and private MIB modules that were previously compiled with the enclosed MG-SOFT MIB Compiler. Loaded MIB modules are used for interpreting the meaning of received SNMP notifications, i.e., to identify received SNMP trap and inform notifications by their names, to resolve variable binding's OIDs and certain values to names, to display properties of OIDs in the Trap Details lower window panel, etc.

Trap Ringer lets you assign different severity level icons and colors to SNMP Trap and Inform notifications. You can modify pre-defined severity levels and/or colors assigned to generic SNMP notifications, as well as assign a severity level and color to any other type of SNMP notification by adding and configuring display filters for it.

Trap List window panel can display properties of received SNMP notifications either in a standard multi-column display mode or in an advanced, single-column display mode, which can be fully customized by combining arbitrary text and reserved words.

Trap Ringer can pass the information about received notifications to the Event Log service (on Windows) or to the syslogd daemon (on Linux and Mac OS X) to enable logging SNMP notifications in the standard system log files. On Windows, this enables auditing SNMP notifications with the built-in Event Viewer utility.

Trap Ringer lets you configure any number of SNMPv3 users for receiving SNMPv3 Trap And Inform notification messages. The standard SNMPv3 User-based Security Model implemented in Trap Ringer is now enhanced with the strong 128-bit CFB-AES encryption protocol, allowing Trap Ringer to receive SNMPv3 Trap and Inform messages encrypted with this protocol.

In addition to performing diverse user notifying and logging operations, Trap Ringer can also act as the SNMP notification proxy forwarder, meaning that it can forward received SNMP notification messages to other SNMP managers on the network. Moreover, it can also translate received SNMP notification messages and forward them as SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 Trap messages, or as SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 Inform messages. Optionally, Trap Ringer can append additional variable bindings to all outgoing SNMP notifications, carrying the information about the notifications's original source address and community name (when applicable).

In addition to IPv4 and IPX transport protocols for SNMP notification messages, Trap Ringer supports also IPv6 transport and can be configured to receive SNMP notifications on any IPv4/UDP, IPv6/UDP and IPX port (IPX protocol is supported in the Windows version only).

The received SNMP Trap and Inform notifications can now be exported from Trap Ringer to CSV (comma separated value) ASCII files in order to view or post-process notification data in other applications.
