I want to genearte alarm (warning, change trigger, ecc..) by a SNMP trap like "LINKDOWN" or "LINKUP" or HSRP change..
In the trap's message, these events have OID ending with variable parts (e.g.: ifindex of interface gone down).
Configuring SNMP trap Sensor, the "OID value" field match only exacly OID and doesn't recognize jolly character or root-left part of OID.
There are unknown jolly characters? Is it a bug?
Thanks in advance!
