RE: trap daemon

Look at "snmptrapd," especially the tutorial
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Configuring_snmptrapd#Example
_handler_script .

 

You might be able to implement this by configuring snmptrapd
appropriately, then writing scripts to extract trap information & insert
into your DB.

Subject: trap daemon

 

Hi,

I've been tasked with writing a trap listener in C which will then take
specific device info from these traps and shove them in a database
(postgresql).

Can somebody point me in the right direction?  I have had a look at
apps/snmptrap*.c but I quickly ran out of steam when trying to follow
it.  I would like this to be as simple as possible.  Listen for traps,
parse them for specific information, then add to database.

I found this thread -

Should I be looking at these functions? Is there a better way?

Thanks,
T
