Monitoring SNMP v1 Trap

Creating a post on some work I'd done couple of year ago so that it won’t be forgotten.

I know SNMPv1 is definitely obsolete by now but what if there are still some requirements to monitor SNMPv1 traps with SCOM ?

One of the way is to

1. Create a custom MP on the trap you are going monitor with SCOM
2. Export that custom MP as an XML
3. Within the XML file, locate the version tag (<version>…</version>)
4. Replace the string within the tag to 1, refer samples below

Before

After

and that should do the trick
