Hi All,
I'm keen to hear what kind of performance you guys are getting if you use TrapDirector.
I'm not sure what the maximum traps per second limit is these days but when running the performance checker I'm being told I'm over the limit. I'm averaging 400 traps a second and was at 1000 before we cleaned up some traps we didn't use.
It seems as though the performance tool (PView) might have the pre-64-bit values in it.
What do people with large domains do to manage traps? I'm using the trap-based auto discovery to find devices which might not be modelled (by hiding the New Devices container and making the devices go into Maintenance mode). This allows us to question the devices and either stop the traps from being sent on the devices or adding them correctly.
I'm interested to know if there are any good tools which you can implement before traps hit the trap director for analysis of traps. I know you get trap replicators but what I'm looking for is something that tells you what traps are coming in and kind of does a top-N report of top OID's, top devices sending traps, etc.
I want to do this before Spectrum processes them as there might be a lot of traps Spectrum hasn't been configured to deal with yet.
Thanks
Frank
