Opensource SNMP Trap Receivers ???

Oh hell yes, there isn’t anything simple about SNMP. A number of people have very quickly suggested SNMPTT, which is the sort of product I was looking for. My google foo had failed me. Thanks.

Matthew,

Sadly, open source + SNMP traps != simple.

The simplest option that I've personally used in the past is SNMPTT with Nagios.

http://www.snmptt.org/docs/snmptt.shtml

The main problem is that SNMP traps, like most of SNMP, aren't simple despite the name.  Having said that it can be done especially if the gear doesn't change too often.

We are retiring a legacy SNMP system and are looking for a simple, opensource SNMP trap receiver/alerting system. We aren't looking for a full SNMP system, just something that will receive snmp traps and email/alert based on them.

1) Looking for something off the shelf, not a development project
2) Opensource or low cost
3) SNMP MIB compiler

Any suggestions?
