SNMP Trap Editor

The Trap Editor tool can be used to modify SNMP Trap templates used by the SolarWinds Network Management Tools. By using the Trap Editor you can create SNMP Traps of almost any structure, including mimicking traps generated by network hardware. If you are using a network management solution, consider the ease with which you can now mimic critical alerts sent to that solution, ensuring it responds correctly when receiving such an alert.
