[Xymon] SNMP Traps - We are converting to Xymon from BB

[Galen Johnson]

Unfortunately, I was only able to rescue some bits of deadcat,  I was
hoping to be able to save more but it didn't pan out and I have no idea
what Dell did with that content.  Devmon is likely the best option for
now.  There is a section for Devmon on Xymonton but it is, sadly, barren.
 IIRC, Henrik was looking to add SMTP traps to Xymon 5 but that has not yet
surfaced outside of mentions in the mailing list archives.
