Abstract
An example device includes a processor that provides an execution environment for a management agent, and a data repository configured to store configuration information. The management agent is operable to retrieve configuration information that specifies one or more trap conditions and one or more filter criteria from the data repository, detect that at least one of the one or more trap conditions is met, generate a message that includes a set of variable identifiers and associated variable values based on the one or more met trap conditions, determine whether at least one of the variable identifiers and associated value pairs included in the generated messages meet at least one of the filter criteria by at least comparing a variable value of a respective filter criteria to the variable value of the generated message, and selectively send the generated message to a device management system based on the comparison.
