Polling shows the state of your network at regular intervals. Traps are different: devices push events to SoldierX AI NMS the moment something happens.
The built-in trap receiver works alongside polling, so a port going down or a device restarting is seen immediately rather than at the next poll.
| Time | Source | Event | Detail | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10:42:18 | dist-sw-02 | linkDown | Port 1/0/24 | Critical |
| 10:42:51 | dist-sw-02 | linkUp | Port 1/0/24 | Cleared |
| 10:39:07 | edge-rtr-01 | authenticationFailure | Invalid SNMP credentials | Warning |
| 10:31:44 | access-sw-07 | coldStart | Device restarted | Warning |
| 10:20:12 | wlc-01 | warmStart | Configuration reloaded | Info |
Built-In Trap Receiver
Accepts SNMPv1, v2c and v3 notifications from switches, routers, wireless controllers and other devices, with nothing extra to install.
Live Event Stream
Incoming events appear in the web interface in real time, with no page refresh needed.
Events Become Alerts
Common events such as link down, link up, authentication failure and device restarts are recognized and can raise alerts that follow your existing notification workflow.
History and Testing
Past events are stored for investigation, and a built-in test sender helps confirm that devices can reach the receiver.
Push and Pull, Working Together
Device sends an event
A switch or router reports a change the moment it happens.
Event is received
SoldierX AI NMS identifies the device and the type of event.
Alert is raised
Matching events become alerts with the right severity.
Team responds
Operators see it live, acknowledge it and review history later.
