SNMP Trap handling for Nagios/Netsaint.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Those seeking to reduce the burden of adding trap support to
Netsaint/Nagios may find mr Alex Burgers SNMPTT (SNMP Trap
Translator) interesting.

Quick highlights

. digests MIBS and assimilates traps

. works with Net-SNMP

. multi platform/Perl (claimed to work with NT)

. becomes the default (ie __only__) trap handler for snmptrapd

. almost certainly can work with Netsaint/Nagios but will still need at
least one shim to translate its results to a passive service
check. However this shim may only need something like a hash containing
Netsaint/Nag hostnames and service descriptions.

It's at http://snmptt.sourceforge.net/.

Has anyone had any experience with it ?

Yours sincerely.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
