There is such a logger called (if I remember correctly) JoeSNMPTrapAppender. However, look into using SNMP4J (www.snmp4j.org - open source) and implement your own appender...

Subject: Generating SNMP traps from Java Application


My Name is Swarna. I am trying to implement generation of SNMP traps from Java application using log4j. We already have log4j implemented for generating log
messages.

When I searched in the web, I came across posts in http://blog.gmane.org Wherein
it is explained that code like

logger.warn("Send a trap");


will generate a trap.

My question is we use similar one to generate logs, how can we distinguish
between entries for logs and entries for traps?



Also I find that it is mentioned that all we need to do is change the
configuration script. I am thinking of using JOESNMP.

Will it be possible for you to provide me the steps  on

What needs to be coded in java application to differentiate logs and traps?
Where do I install joesnmp?
What changes I need to make to log4j.xml?
How can I test the same?


Thanks in Advance,
Swarna
