[c-nsp] solarwinds question

[Michael Sprouffske]

The scripting part is what has me stumped as I don't script.  Yes I am sending traps to solar and it receives them just fine.  I'm at the point of need help taking that trap and doing an snmp walk on the cisco device to pull the description and then add that to the email message.

Where are you sending your traps?

The should be sent to solarwinds - and solarwinds should send you a notification based on that.

Alternatively - you will need to do some scripting.

I have switches that don't send the interface description with traps and that makes it hard to tell what the alert is.  Now, solarwinds can poll the device and it has the interface description.  The catch is, we poll every 2 minutes and I would like to receive traps as they happen.  Now the poller will put the description in the email but the trap will not.  Is there a way to have the traps received, look in solarwinds somewhere for the description?
