It's a trap! ... an SNMP trap.

[rmd]

Anyone have opinions for an snmp collector? Free or paid. I'd particularly consider something commercial if it gave me good filtering/reporting/notification.

Also, somewhat relatedly, my iPhone regularly tries to autocorrect "snmp" to "ammo".

Splunk rocks, but is not really an SNMP tool. You'd actually use snmptrapd as the collector, write it to a file, and feed the file to splunk. On the other hand, at that point you'd have your events in the best event filtering/notification/reporting tool in the world, and you can feed any log to it quite happily. I love splunk.

It's really pricy. They want to be the next Oracle, and cost their wares accordingly.

Oh, and if you ever hung out on t.b? The Splunk founder is the same Carasso.
