SNMP Trap Receiver

Dears, I am working on a code which reads some alarms from network and decide to take some action, the alarms are sent to my server using SNMP, currently i am using Kiwi syslog server to listen to SNMP traps at port 162 and import them into database, but the problem is this software is 32 bit and i am receiving about 100K MPH so kiwi stocks in not responding mode and miss some alarms (doesn't import to database), so i am looking for a software which works on windows server and receives SNMP traps and inserts them into database, any suggestion?

What system are you on? Determining the bottleneck possibly that the db is .....
32 bit is likely not the reason for the situation I suspect.

The flow of received event, what review is done, ir every single event received is inserted into db?

If an option to stagger, prioritize which events are added synchronously and which can be added asynchronously by another process.

my server configuration is as below
windows server 2012 r2 64bit
8 core 2.20
32 GB ram
1gbps network
mssql database on the same network but on more powerful server
and trap flow is aout 100K per hour
and i am using kiwi syslog server.
all traps are going to DB
Can you confirm that the issue is not caused by the delays/bottleneck in the data addition to the SQL server?
See whether the db growth is set too low such that every few additions, the db has to allocate/grow the db size, leading to timeouts non-response.
I.e. When initially deployed the data and file growth were ok, but with the higher amount of data,
The other deals with recovery mode settings and whether if in full, the issue is related to transaction log reaching max size preventing subsequent additions because of lack of transaction log space.
good idea, i will disable db action and monitor again if program functions normally or not.

update:
a little bit better but still sometimes not respond
Unfortunately from your question/information I lack visibility on what kiwi does once events received...


What else does the server do that might consume resources ...

Check in what mode the server operates, prioritization ? Applications/programs?

"Not respond" to what in what sense?
SNMP traps are stateless, they are fired off with the listener to do as they see fit.

Are you writing received events to files?
