SNMP Trap Explorer
Overview
Trap Explorer is a comprehensive tool in Motadata AIOps that enables users to view all the ingested SNMP traps in Motadata AIOps. The tool provides various features to analyze and manage the ingested SNMP traps.
It provides an intuitive graphical interface for viewing the count of traps received at specific time period and also allows selecting timeline for the same.
The tool also allows drilling down on a trap to view details such as trap message, trap count, and trap history. Additionally, users can acknowledge specific traps indicating that work is done on them, although the acknowledgment is overridden if the trap comes again.
One of the key features of the Trap Explorer is its search functionality, which allows users to view specific traps based on filters such as Trap severity, Trap OID, source, and vendor. Users can filter the displayed traps to view only those that meet specific criteria. With these capabilities, the Trap Explorer provides a powerful tool for managing SNMP traps in Motadata AIOps.

Trap Details
The Trap Explorer tool allows you to drill down on individual traps and view their details, including the raw message, trap message, trap count, and trap history. This feature is especially useful in identifying patterns and trends in the traps received as it shows the trap history, enabling you to take proactive measures to prevent recurring issues.
Filtering traps
The Trap Explorer also provides the option to filter and view specific traps. This is especially helpful when dealing with a large number of traps ingested by the system. Users can filter the traps based on different fields such as severity, trap OID, source, and vendor.
Select 
present at the top-right of the screen to display the option to filter the traps as follows:
Now, if a user wants to view only the traps with a severity level of 'Critical', they can select the Critical option in the severity filter, and the system will display only the traps with a critical severity level.
Similarly, a user can filter the traps based on the trap OID, source, and vendor. This helps the user to quickly identify specific traps and their sources without going through a large number of traps. Additionally, the filtering option also allows users to search for specific traps based on specific keywords or phrases.
The filtering option in the Trap Explorer provides users with greater control and flexibility in viewing and managing the traps ingested by Motadata AIOps.
