Nov 1, 2025In 2025-11, delivered a comprehensive expansion and cleanup of SNMP trap rules for elastiflow/snmp, significantly increasing monitoring coverage and rule reliability across multiple MIBs. The work focused on implementing official trap rules for a wide set of MIBs, removing outdated or buggy rules, and tightening consistency to reduce alert noise and maintenance burden. This was driven by a major commit (c5a9e92cdb7bbad42b3ff090fd0318c19d05653b) associated with PR #95, which added extensive trap rules and alignment with IETF/JUNIPER/CISCO/MikroTik standards, plus consistency improvements and metadata updates (enterprises.yml). The result is better end-to-end visibility, faster issue triage, and a stronger foundation for scalable alerting in customer environments.
