Fw: SNMP Traps

[Neal.Starr at cox.com]

You may also want to take a look at http://snmptt.sourceforge.net 

There are steps on that website on how to integrate vendor SNMP MIB files with snmptrapd, Nagios, and then get SNMP-TT to translate them to human-readable form.  It has the ability to allow you to have SNMP-TT execute commands and programs in response to traps received if you so wish.  Using this is the right way, you can set what notification levels a particular trap with set off when it is received and processed into Nagios.  Alex has done a very nice job with this piece of software.

I use it currently in conjunction with Nagios to collect traps from 200+ or so devices in our network and it works very nicely.  Used with Nagios' check_ifstatus, and check_snmp plugins, it makes for a very nice poor-man's OpenView.

Nope.  A trap is a trap.  The snmptrapd that the method is using will
accept traps from any trap source.

I'm working on implementing it myself right now....unfortunately, addind
the daemon my my Debian box seems to have destroyed the perl snmp
stuff.......as soon as I fix that I'll be back to work on the rest.
