About TrapTracker

TrapTracker for Windows [TTW] is a scalable, standard-compliant framework that receives traps propagated by SNMP compliant devices in your enterprise. TTW provides options to categorize traps, generate custom reports and configure notifications on occurrence of a specific trap.

TrapTracker for Windows helps the user to:

 

·         Monitor, consolidate, and analyze the traps sent by SNMP compliant devices

·         Parse the MIB (based on ASN-1 format) files.

·         Retrieve object and trap definitions from MIB file. This implies that MIB modules describing the traps are compiled to facilitate the translation of SNMP PDUs into user understandable format. Traps that cannot be translated should not be discarded, but should be displayed and stored in raw format.

·         View the contents of MIB files in a format easily understood by the user.

·         Compile and store multiple MIBs in a single file.

·         Collect and consolidate Trap details, Category details and Alert details in the database.

·         Configure real-time notification by E-mail, pager, beep, and custom action.

·         Audit requirements suggested by GLBA, HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley Changing Client Service Account, California Senate Bill 1386, the USA Patriot Act and NISPOM.
