Description
-----------
Tells the module which start string inside the tag to look for. The default is
``snmptrapd``. Note that a slash (``/``) is automatically appended to this tag for
matching. You should not include a trailing slash unless you specifically need
to match a double slash. For example, setting ``tag="tag/"`` results in a
check for ``tag//`` at the start of the tag field.
