yes, if you use snmpwalk or snmpget and co. But, this is a line from an
SNMP trap. The SNMP trap daemon we use, OP5 Trapper, by default logs 
its'
traps as raw data into a logfile.

What I want to know is how to translate these raw SNMP traps into 
readable
text? Preferably from the commandline.

I know of one way to do this: Change "= STRING:" into "s" and "= 
INTEGER:"
into "i", "= Hex-STRING:" into "x", etc and resend this trap to a 
different
SNMP trap daemon running on a non-standard port (1162) and configured 
to
output the received traps as readable text into a log file. And use 
unix
tools to extract the result from the logfile.

As this works, it's cumbersome and error-prone. Whence the question: Is
there another and easier way to do this?

Kind regards, Edgar.
