For the purpose of sending we just used plain old Net::SNMP: http://search.cpan.org/~dtown/Net-SNMP-v6.0.0/lib/Net/SNMP.pm We obviously had our own MIB, and added a section to handle traps for this purpose. The trap object contained items like: * service name * severity * description * ... etc ... Same sort of stuff that nsca sends. The sender was pretty straight forward - as sending a trap is not rocket science. For the collector we wrote our own listener. But I think a better way to do it today would be to use this guy: http://search.cpan.org/~hardaker/NetSNMP-TrapReceiver-5.0301/TrapReceiver.pm Which hooks into snmptrapd - and treats your code like a callback. Then its just as simple as stuffing it into the unix socket using the format Nagios expects. An alternative could be to roll our own NSCA receiver: http://search.cpan.org/~bingos/POE-Component-Server-NSCA-0.08/lib/POE/Component/Server/NSCA.pm That may be better to tune then the normal NSCA. I seem to recall the main problems with NSCA was around how many concurrent connections it could receive at one time. Switching to UDP or at least using a receiver that is more concurrent can improve things. I could be wrong - sorry - my memory of the issues are a bit vague :-). ken. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
