[Xymon] Sending SNMP information

Hi all

At $CLIENT, an "executive decision" was made to do all monitoring using $OTHER_TOOL. $OTHER_TOOL uses only SNMP. Although the results in Wintendo-land are acceptable, what we get in Solaris-land is not.

As a compromise, it was resolved to keep Xymon for Solaris-land for admin team monitoring and diagnostics, but get it to send critical elerts to $OTHER_TOOL in the form of SNMP traps. This might not even make sense, but somehow, probably using the SCRIPT directive in alerts.cfg, I need to notify $OTHER_TOOL of critical events.

Any tips on how?

Regards Vernon
