"Testing a SNMP Trap Receiver sensor" works. remote trap receiver(192.168.1.254) receives traps.

If the receiver set PRTG 192.168.1.1 In the log sensor messages are written Status Notify | Message 1: 1: 192.168.1.1: 1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.1.1.4

but if you send a trap from a remote PC, it does not get prtg. In wireshart shows that the drain comes. snmptrap -c public -v 2c 192.168.1.1 "2" 1.3.6.1.4.1.32446.1.1.4

Setting the Trap Sensor to alarm according to the message in a trap is not possible. Only a Warning state can be enabled in the Settings of the Trap Sensor (and the Change Trigger fired).

Wildcards or enterprise-OIDs are not possible. It has to be the explicit OID of a variable binding.
