I successfully get messages from the ITWatchDogs unit as follows... (note I put the MIB file which is available for download under the right-hand menu on the ITWatchDogs unit web interface, into the folder PRTG likes)

4/4/2016 10:14:57 AM 192.168.xx.xx SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = GEIST-MIB-V3::gstTempSensorTempFCLEAR GEIST-MIB-V3::productFriendlyName.0 = ITCloset GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmTripType.0 = none (0) GEIST-MIB-V3::temperaturePrecision.0 = degree (0) GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmTrigger.0 = High GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmInstance.0 = 5 0 0 162249042 2

4/4/2016 9:53:33 AM 192.168.xx.xx SNMPv2-MIB::snmpTrapOID.0 = GEIST-MIB-V3::gstTempSensorTempFNOTIFY GEIST-MIB-V3::productFriendlyName.0 = ITCloset GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmTripType.0 = high (2) GEIST-MIB-V3::temperaturePrecision.0 = degree (0) GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmTrigger.0 = High GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmInstance.0 = 5

However when I add (in the Error filter box) to the sensor config (so it will alert me) it never does alert me. I've tried entering things like...

bindings[GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmTripType.0,high (2)] AND GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmInstance.0 = 5

and just...

bindings[GEIST-MIB-V3::alarmTripType.0,high (2)]

How do I make this work?

The syntax does not look right, see also the manual for a few examples. I would recommend using the Messages tab in the sensor. It lists all received traps, let's you search through the messages and enables you to create filters by clicking on the desired fields (see gear wheel settings icon on the left in Messages tab).

If you need further assistance, a few screenshots showing the sensor's Settings and Messages tab would be helpful, you can also send them by email to support@paessler.com using PAE681934 in the subject, so it will be linked to this post in our ticket system.

Kind regards.
