I am a newbie in SNMP. I am tasked to write an application which can receive SNMP traps from some network devices (and some time poll the status too) and convert the traps to some internal protocol and send it to another legacy application.
Does there any open source application out there which I can make use off for this project?
Thanks for your reply. I just went thru the link you posted. Do you mean I can alter the source code of smtptrapd for my requirement or Should I write some kind of wrapper script to digest the output of smtptrapd and use it? Sorry to ask a dump question like this.
ahh well either, i took your question to be a way to get a trap into the box as a starting point... you've not detailed what you actually want to do here... simplest would be to accept the trap with this, through syslog-ng and into a network port of your app in normal standards of your chosing i guess. but obviosuly using the code for your own would be the nicest architectural solution i assume.
