RE: [hobbit] sending snmp traps

I want hobbit to forward all alerts as snmp traps, but don't know much (if anything) about snmp, other than how to do some queries. I would get my hands dirty with perl, but I don't know enough about snmp.

Juan, can your software monitor syslog?  It would probably be much
easier to use logger to send a message to your monitoring console than
it will be to define your own traps.  SNMP trap definition requires some
knowledge of MIB's and OIDs and varbinds and PDU's and such.  Syslog is
just text processing.

I agree, but I don't know the snmp trap format.  Can somebody point me
in the right direction of what a trap consists of?

thanks
