Greetings, I�m starting the New Year off with a release of the SNMPTrapAppender. New in this release is an additional implementation of the SnmpTrapSender interface which uses the open source NetSNMP command line tools to send traps. I wrote this primarily as a proof-of-concept � several people have written me asking how this task might be accomplished, usually because they were interested in sending traps using OpenView/NetView�s �sendtrap� command line tool. The new �NetSnmpCommandLineTrapSender� should serve as an example of one way that this could be accomplished. There are doubtless other, better ways! One thing I noticed in my testing is that the performance is not good, compared to using one of the Java libraries like JoeSNMP, but given the context switching, JNI thunking and whatnot that goes on behind the scenes, I didn�t find this surprising.
You can get the latest version, as always, at: http://www.m2technologies.net/asp/snmpTrapAppender.asp Cheers, Mark
