Re: Opensource SNMP Trap Receivers ???

[Alain Hebert <ahebert () pubnix net>]

    Well,

Traps:

    snmptt is not that hard once you get used to it.

    snmpttconvert takes care of most cases... Then the rest is all 
about scripting.

    We're using it on Port Up/Down & BGP Session state change.


As for an Open NMS ...  That's another story.

    Good luck.

    PS: We're using a tweaked version of Cacti 0.8.8x with Threshold 
and adding a sFlow Weatrhermap soon, with only ~200 devices (over 5000 
ports) but all the ports are mapped, monitored for traffic, errors and 
pps,  Sites,  Peers and Customers are also documented and we're using it 
for our billing purposes (95th).
