[SAGE] snmptrapd/snmptrap configs and examples?

[Brent Chapman <Brent@GreatCircle.COM>]

I'd like to decode SNMP traps and feed them into Splunk, which is a 
cool new index/search tool for log data (see 
http://www.splunk.com/index.php/articles/news/86 for an overview of 
what it is and how it works).

The server I'm using (running the Centos 4.1 variant of RedHat) has 
the standard net-snmp package (net-snmp-5.1.2) installed, which 
includes "snmptrapd", which looks like it ought to do what I need... 
Unfortunately the documentation is, let's just say, "abstract"... 
I'd love to see some sample configs, if anybody could send me or 
point me to any.

I'd also like to use the "snmptrap" program (part of the same 
package) to send test traps to the snmptrapd server.  Its 
documentation is similarly un-useful for what I'm trying to do, so 
I'd love to see some examples of usage of that program, too.


Thanks!
