RE: snmptrapd forwarding with OID wildcards [sec:unclass]

Thanks for your response Thomas,

Would it be possible for the developers to add wildcard handling for the
forward directive in a future release?

In the meantime, does anyone know about a tool available that can do
what I'm trying to achieve (forward traps to a different server, if the
OID matches a pattern with wildcards)? I guess it would work with the
traphandle directive, parse the trap and forward it only if it matches a
set of patterns. The more basic to tool the better, I can't really
install something like OpenNMS or Nagios.

Thanks,

-Matt

Th 'OID' handling had been the same earlier, until the "traphandle"
handling introduced wildcard support which rendered this part of the
documentation invalid, I fear.
