monitor and notificationEvent

Hi,

I've got a couple of questions regarding the use of the monitor and 
notificationEvent directives in snmpd.conf.

Take the following (hypothetical) situation. There is a proc directive to 
monitor several processes. The goal is to send a trap when an error flag is 
set in the prTable. The trap is to contain the index and the error message.

First off, should the extra objects index and prErrMessage be listed with the 
"monitor" or the "notificationEvent" lines? Does it matter? I've read the 
explanation with the strictDisman entry, but I have to be honest and say I 
don't really understand what it's saying.

Second, if I include the extra objects in the notificationEvent line, what is 
the exact syntax for doing so? The man page says the syntax is 
`notificationEvent "name" NOTIFICATION-TYPE -o oid -o another_oid`, however 
in the examples given in man snmpd.examples, there is no -o used, it just 
lists the extra objects to include. Which is the correct syntax?

Lastly, with the notificationEvent line, does it matter terribly much which 
NOTIFICATION-TYPE you include? The linkUp, coldStart etc ones are not very 
appropriate, is it ok just to use something generic like mteTriggerFired?

Many many thanks in advance.

Helen.
