Trapd Intro
Overview
The Unified Assurance Event SNMP Trap Aggregator is a generic SNMP Trap message listener that receives messages from devices, parses the results with customizable rules and creates de-duplicated events within Unified Assurance.
A default installation includes a set of rules files for processing a variety of traps from numerous different vendors. The following links provide you with more information regarding supported devices and a greater level of detail about the Event SNMP Trap Aggregator:

BaseRules will be executed for each device that is selected based on the configuration.
Update the logic as needed.
