Hello, I have orphaned snmptraplogd. I have uploaded the new package snmptrapfmt. The reasons can be read in the README.debian file of snmptrapfmt. I have also attached the description of the control file of snmptrapfmt.
I hope everything is OK !? Regards Bernd Schumacher =========== README.debian file of snmptrapfmt ============ snmptrapfmt for DEBIAN ----------------- snmptrapfmt is an upgrade path to the obsolete debian package snmptraplogd. Snmptraplogd was developed in earlier days as the debian snmpd package did not provide (or at least did not start) a snmptrapd. Therefore snmptraplogd had all the code to receive traps itself and to format it. Now the debian snmpd package has its own snmptrapd and only the formatting has to be done. Snmptrapfmt offers the formatting functionality as snmptraplogd did but does no longer conflict with package snmpd. Instead it depends on snmpd now. To achieve this snmpd is configured to call snmptrapfmthdlr. This small program is called for each trap by default. You could configure it to be called only for selected traps. The trap data is then forwarded to a local pipe from which snmptrapfmt picks it up and does further processing.

This package contains a configurable snmp trap handler daemon for snmpd. The output of this trap handler daemon may be specified via a configuration file and written to a logfile or to the syslog daemon. During installation of this package, the configuration file for the snmptrapd daemon is changed (old version is saved) to activate the trap handler. The snmpd and snmptrapd daemons are restarted.
