This feature will be in RHEL6.1. There is a new project called 'foghorn' that creates SNMPv2 traps from dbus signals. git://git.fedorahosted.org/foghorn.git In RHEL6.1 (and the latest upstream release), certain cluster components will emit dbus signals when certain events occurs. This includes fencing. So when a node is fenced a dbus signal is generated by fenced. The foghorn service catches this signal and generated SNMPv2 trap. Note that foghorn runs as an AgentX subagent, so snmpd must be running as the master agentx.
