[hobbit] trap column not showing up

[FARRIOR, Andy]

After you convert you MIBs using "snmpttconvertmib", you have to edit
the various lines in the snmptt.conf.* files that start with "EVENT" and
change the status from "Normal" to something more useful.  For instance,
by default, all of Cisco's traps have a status of "Normal".

Here's a list of common event status settings and their corresponding
Hobbit alert color:

Normal - green
INFORMATIONAL - green
MINOR - yellow
WARNING - yellow
SEVERE - red
MAJOR - red
CRITICAL - red


Example:

The Cisco "linkDown" traps:

EVENT linkDown .1.3.6.1.2.1.11.0.2 "Status Events" Normal
EVENT linkDown .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.5.0.2 "Status Events" Normal

If you want this to generate an alert, change "Normal" to "WARNING" (for
yellow) or "CRITICAL" (for red)

The Dell and APC traps are usually predefined with the various status
settings.

Hope that helps,
Andy

Where do i need to tell hobbit/snmptt what traps i want to alarm out  
on?  I am a little fuzzy on where i need to configure that stuff at.   
And is there a way to customize the message that is sent to hobbit.   
Say someone logs in and does a config change.  Can I just have "Config  
Change" sent to hobbit?

Thanks
Josh

**** trap column is there***
