I, and perhaps others would be interested in what precisely you are 
doing?  Are you pushing all hobbit alarms from the hobbit server to
HPOV?

Sorry, I am HPOV ignorant, but we are interested in forwarding all the 
hobbit alarms/alerts as SNMP traps to one of Concord's products.  I am 
not to familiar with Concord's product either.  I just know the powers 
that be would like to have snmp traps from all our monitored hosts.

In otherwords, I am interested in any system or methodology that someone 
has setup to forward alarms from the hobbit server to an SNMP server. 
Any setups out there that someone is willing to share the details?

David
