Hi, I am trying to setup traps from an Ontap box to telegraf, that telegraf sends to influxdb. The idea is to setup the collection of traps like PSU down or disk fail. These are not snmpwalk OID, but only traps that launch when something happens. Is this possible? [agent] interval = “10s” round\_interval = true metric\_batch\_size = 1000 metric\_buffer\_limit = 10000 collection\_jitter = “0s” flush\_interval = “10s” flush\_jitter = “5s” precision = “s” debug = false quiet = false logfile = “” hostname = “” omit\_hostname = false [[outputs.influxdb]] urls = [“http://_**:8086"] database = “storage” # required retention\_policy = “” write\_consistency = “any” timeout = “5s” username = "" password = "**_\*\*\*\*” [[inputs.snmp]] agents = [“_ **:161", "** _:161”] timeout = “5s” retries = 3 version = 2 community = “public” max\_repetitions = 10 name = “netapp” [[inputs.snmp.field]] name = “nodeName” #walkable snmp but I do not see anything reaching influxdb oid = “1.3.6.1.4.1.789.1.25.2.1.1” [[inputs.snmp.field]] name = “volumeNearlyFull” #trap oid = “1.3.6.1.4.1.789.0.85” [[inputs.snmp.field]] name = “volumeFull” #trap oid = “1.3.6.1.4.1.789.0.82” ---

Unfortunately, we don’t have support for SNMP traps yet in Telegraf. I believe you could use [Kapacitor SNMP trap](https://docs.influxdata.com/kapacitor/v1.5/event_handlers/snmptrap/) support though. Could you fill out a [feature request](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/new/choose) on github to create a Telegraf input plugin? ---

Hi, thanks for the answer. We would like to send traps to Kapacitor, from what I understand the link you send is for Kapacitor to send traps out. Is there a way to send it to Kapacitor? ---

Oh, you are right, I’m not aware of a way to send them to Kapacitor. Perhaps there is an existing tool but I think we should open a [new feature request](https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/new?template=Feature_request.md) on Telegraf. Could you do this so you will be attached to the issue if we have more questions? ---
