TrapStation by Augur Systems logs and forwards SNMP traps to management systems. It allows selective routing, translation of SNMP versions, filtering, event correlation, threshold application, and varbind modification. Users can view graphs, search logs, and replay traps. TrapStation features modern design and SNMP v3 encryption/security, trap modification, a browser interface, and full support. It maps incoming traps to rule tree nodes. Each node has a filter to test traps and options to log and forward matching traps. Nested tiers form progressively specific tests, reducing the complexity of individual rule nodes. Nesting ensures that a partially-matched trap falls into a fail-safe rule node. TrapStation's tree-based rules promote a logical organization that is safer to maintain over time. TrapStation's rule tree visually categorizes traps, with rule pathnames serving as buckets for statistics. Each trap's rule pathname is stored in trap logs for filtering with the search tool. TrapStation helps find specific traps from millions or billions of logs using multiple filters. Users can browse, save, and replay results to targets for testing. It allows filtering of live streams to collect real-time results. Traps can be routed differently by matching them at different nodes and applying different targets, typically SNMP managers or log files. TrapStation's target plug-ins support special needs, such as a 'round-robin' load balancer and direct integration with databases, Kafka, Splunk, etc. It can convert v3 traps to v2 for legacy systems while converting all v1/v2 traps to v3 for secure external targets. TrapStation is not intended to replace network management systems but offers options at each rule tree node to help reduce forwarding of unwanted, spurious, redundant, and 'flapping' traps. TrapStation's rule tree nodes use an enhanced JavaScript engine for trap-handling. Calculations can be performed, trap fields queried, and varbinds manipulated using JavaScript syntax. A Java virtual machine is integrated, allowing access to external systems via Java's APIs. The rule tree can also handle other event streams like syslog, webhook, and alarms, with plug-ins making protocol event fields available to scripts. The syslog parser plug-in helps access log fields, while other parsers decode binary protocol fields. Plug-ins reshape logs and forwarded events by stripping sensitive information, adding looked-up data, and changing syntax to formats like JSON. TrapStation converts any event to an SNMP trap and forwards/logs it like native traps. Its rule tree compartmentalizes custom logic to limit scope and potential issues. The GUI includes pre-deployment testing tools and allows one-click deployment without downtime. Both live and historical reporting provides operational feedback. TrapStation addresses the concerns of large companies: redundancy, security/encryption, and centralized authentication/authorization. Bursts of trap traffic (thousands per second) are safely handled by TrapStation, engineered for busy network conditions: millions of traps per hour. Logs are optimized for speedy search results.
