Well, most of that complexity is concerned with providing flexibility in how traps are processed. The core of snmptrapd is fairly simple. Concentrate on the routine 'main' - strip out all of the signal handling, config stuff, command line parsing, "traphandler" stuff, agentX, perl, fork handling, etc That basically leaves you with 'init_snmp', opening a session and the 'while(running)' loop. The core of this is the 'snmp_read()' call, which triggers 'snmp_input' (see snmptrapd_add_session()) That's the routine that actually handles the incoming trap. It's passed the PDU, and then you can do what you like. > I use Win NT OS, and i thought that with opening an udp socket on port 162, > i could get bytes that were sent by snmptrap. But ... no. Any idea ? I wouldn't try to parse the incoming trap yourself - there's a lot of really ugly stuff going on under the surface. Let 'snmp_read()' look after that for you - take the PDU structure and be thankful :-) Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
