    SNMP Traps - Recommendation

    Hi,
    I finally started handling SNMP Traps from mainly network devices and I just wanted to ask if you have some recommendations for what to monitor, because I cannot just put the fallback trap and make a trigger of every trap (I have more than 500 devices) - so my question is how to filter RELEVANT traps in Zabbix ?
    I was thinking about filtering them with severity but I don't have enough experience with Traps to say what is relevant to monitor.

    Thanks for your comments and advice !

    my recommendation would be to go away from traps but if you have to do it be carefull because of possible events storms that might kill your zabbix instance , you'll have to do a lot of analysis on what trap what to trigger and at the end of the day you might face things like need for deduplication, correlation, inihibition, shutting down rogue devices etc- things which zabbix cant do out of the box

    colleauge of mine had a nice Zabbix webinar on this topic ( use translator to get the idea )
