[hobbit] sending snmp traps

[Hubbard, Greg L]

Then I suggest some quality time with Google.  Net-SNMP has a trap
sending program, I believe, that reduces the work.  You might also check
CPAN to see if someone hasn't written a trap sending module that works
entirely within Perl and perhaps a library.  I know MRTG uses some Perl
code that doesn't appear to depend on anything else for SNMP queries.

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.
