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.

Jason,
I'm a long time BB/Xymon user. The original FOSS BB, had no trap
handler. I see from poking google, the professional version of BB
did/does have one:
http://bb.etermar.pt/bb/skins/eng/help/help/Receiving_SNMP_traps.htm
I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but I don't think xymon
has a native one either, but I remembered this is from the days of
the FOSS BB:
http://cerebro.victoriacollege.edu/hobbit-trap.html
And you may or may not already know about xymonton... It seems to
have copies of all the stuff deadcat used to have for BB.
https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php
I usually have to tweak the stuff from xymonton to get it to work
right, but it's been extremely useful
And just on the general topic of SNMP: After 30 years messing
with networks, I have discovered that SNMP is NOT always what I
expect. Different implementations some times
return
different results. Most of my systems are linux with net-snmp.
I have a few, that I recently have begun to monitor, that are OS X
(various revisions) with net-snmp. The data
returned isn't always the same as my linux boxen. Again, I've
had to fiddle a bit to find the OIDs for what I'm trying to watch.
Same deal for Cisco gear.... And THAT varies
from
model to model! Devmon is what I've been using for that.
Regards,
Bruce Ferrell
