SNMP Trap Profile
Overview
The SNMP Trap Profile in Motadata AIOps is a crucial feature that allows the application to identify and process SNMP traps. Each SNMP Trap Profile is mapped to a unique combination of Trap OID and severity, which helps Motadata AIOps to first identify and then assign a severity to a trap when it is received by Motadata AIOps. The SNMP trap profile also has a message mapped to it. This message helps you to identify what the issue is about.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| SNMP Trap Profile Name | This name is used to identify an SNMP Profile. |
| Trap OID | This field is used to indicate the OID corresponding to the Trap. |
| Severity | This field is used to indicate the severity of the trap. This severity is generally used to understand the urgency and the impact of the trap. |
| Used Count | This count is used to indicate the number of SNMP forwarders using the profile. |

How to create an SNMP Profile?
In addition to the inbuilt set of trap profiles, you can also create custom trap profiles for specific devices or applications for which a trap profile is not already available in the inbuilt set of profiles. In case you are able to view a trap in trap explorer but the name, message, and the severity corresponding to that trap is not visible, it means that the SNMP trap profile corresponding to that trap OID is not available. You can create a SNMP trap profile for that trap OID so that Motadata AIOps is able to identify the trap.
In summary, the SNMP Trap Profile in Motadata AIOps enables the application to identify and process SNMP traps efficiently. By creating and configuring the SNMP Trap Profiles, you can ensure that the application assigns the appropriate severity to each trap, enabling you to prioritize and resolve issues quickly.
