Sorry, no can do.  It's long gone.  I didn't set it up but I'm pretty
sure we just got it off of deadcat (though I just did a couple searches
and found nothing like what we were using).  

Probably wouldn't be hard to write a new one for someone who knows snmp
"syntax" well enough.  Just pass the hobbit message to the server
receiving traps, and you're golden.

It wasn't exactly helpful for us when we use the emails and the display
page as the key modes of contact for alarms in our environment.

Hello Tod,

Since you've stopped using the script, would you be willing to share it
for posterity sake?

We use mrtg to do all our SNMP polling (I know devmon is the popular
solution hear, but it's messy and so multi-filed so we have a bad
taste for it) and for traps we have a script we stopped using
recently, but it was setup much like Henrik stated.  It was just added
to hobbit-alerts.cfg and life was good.

I believe there is a workaround for it using something else.  I know
you can find it in the mailing list archives - it has been asked and
discussed many times.

I read that Henrik has SNMP planned for a later release, too, though I
don't believe that is confirmed.

The biggest problem I have with going to Hobbit is there is no snmp
trap sending support.  We don't use BB as our main interface for
showing all alerts, but it is required and we do send snmp traps from
the BBPAGER to our main dashboard of alerts.  Is this functionality in
Hobbit yet?
