Hello,

Thank you very much for using PRTG. You can place the MIB-File into the "\MIB\"-subfolder of PRTGs Program Files directory. After a restart of the PRTG Core Service it will then be used to translate traps.
Please try to import / Load the MIB though with our MIB-Importer first, to check if it is syntactically correct. If it can be loaded without errors, then copy the MIB-File into the MIB-Subfolder.

best regards.

Where do I go to find the actual MIB file to import into the MIB Importer or the MIB subfolder?

Please consult with the vendor of the device, which send the traps, to get the MIB-File from the vendor.
