I'm pretty sure and I also hope that I'm just missing something simple but why is it so hard to get traps sent to Zenoss, associate them with the device sending them, and have them show up as an event attached to the specific device?  On a cisco 3600 metro switch, the only way I could get traps sent to zenoss was to enable ALL snmp traps and then the strangest thing happens....all trap messages come in one single event:

| clogHistFacility | PLATFORM_ENV |
| clogHistFacility.20638 | LINK |
| clogHistFacility.20639 | PLATFORM_ENV |
| clogHistMsgName | DUAL_PWR |
| clogHistMsgName.20638 | UPDOWN |
| clogHistMsgName.20639 | DUAL_PWR |
| clogHistMsgText | Faulty internal power supply 2 detected |
| clogHistMsgText.20638 | Interface GigabitEthernet0/8, changed state to down |
| clogHistMsgText.20639 | Faulty internal power supply 2 detected |

Not only do I want these separate but I also need to display the actual message and instead the even shows up as this in the summary:

snmp trap ciscoConfigManEvent

I've attatched the snmp config on my router if it provides any insight.

Basically, I just want traps to come in, be readable like all other events, and have a nice simple way to facilitate this.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice/direction

Shane,
Take a look at Jane's paper ( http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-13746 http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-13746) and look at the snmp trap section.  This is becoming standard practice, I see it a lot with cisco's voice/ucce implementations.  But after looking at the paper you will see how pull all these trap attributes with a couple lines of code in the transform and make them unique.
