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?

Mike,
    Nice to hear from you on this list ;)  I have a quick blog post 
http://dharmabits.blogspot.com/2011/09/displaying-interface-descriptions-in.html
. Add that bit to your snmptt.conf, and customize the snmpget for your
community names etc.
