Saving Trap Messages
The Trap Monitor lets you save the traps currently displayed in the Trap Monitor
window to an ASCII file on your Site Manager workstation. You can later view,
edit, or print this file.
To save trap messages to an ASCII file:
1. In the Trap Monitor window, choose File > Save Traps.
The Trap Monitor prompts you to name the file (Figure
7-14).
Figure 7-14. Saving Traps to a File
2.
Type a directory path and file name, then click on Save.
You return to the Trap Monitor window.
The system saves the message display to an ASCII file on your computer. (If
you do not specify a directory, the system saves the file to your local
directory.) You cannot reload an ASCII file back into the Trap Monitor.
Clearing the Trap Monitor Window
To clear the Trap Monitor window, choose View > Clear Window. The Trap
Monitor clears the window of all trap messages.
Because the SNMP agent constantly updates the trap history file, new trap
messages appear right away.
