[xymon] SNMP destination (eg. not DevMon) [SOLVED]

[Brian Majeska]

Yes, you can have a separate trap column for each host.  The trap.sh
script that comes in the tar download on that page feeds the IP or
hostname to the trap.pl script which reports the status to Xymon.

I tweaked my trap.sh script to do dns lookups for all traps that come
in without a hostname so they can be reported to xymon with the
correct hostname.
