sending snmp traps

I agree, but I don't know the snmp trap format.  Can somebody point me in the right direction of what a trap consists of?

thanks

Using the "SCRIPT" mechanism in hobbit-alerts.cfg lets you run a command
to notify about an alert. It should be fairly simple to write a script
that sends an SNMP trap from this.
