    I find it easier to:
    - change snmptd probe setting to convert trap to a queue
    snmp- create a logmon profile that will read this queue
    logmon_snmp- in the logmon watcher you can define any part of the trap message into variables
    logmon_snmp_var
    And this variable you can use in your custom alarm or in the source variable
    logmon_snmp_source

    It would be easy when we are receiving traps with some specific values. But here we have very large count of specific values .HPSIM itself sends (400 or more types of traps) and we have EMC avamar, SAN switches, Oracle ILO and DATA Domain sending specific traps to UIM. I find it hard to do it in logmon.

    @Luc Christiaens way is probably easier to troubleshoot and  ​maintain in the long run.
    but with the variable expansion you should be able to use any variable set:
    http://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/ca-unified-infrastructure-management-probes/GA/alphabetical-probe-articles/snmptd-simple-network-management-protocol-trap-daemon-monitoring/snmptd-im-configuration.html#concept.dita_ee2349c6e6eef8a5c07df9e642a875491c6eabb7_VariableExpansion'

    $n
    , where n > 0
    Expands into the variable at position 
    n
    . For example, $1 expands the first variable.
