Ouch. Thanks for the vote of confidence, there, Elijah.
FWIW, I've avoided implementing a TrapSender for the Snmp4j libary
(although I find it otherwise quite cool) because it's limited to JDK
1.4, and that breaks with the design goals of log4j itself (at least up
until "the release previously know as Prince, ehhh, v. 1.3").
The "**JoeSNMPTrapSender**" is a sort of a Mediator class, that hooks up
the (otherwise library neutral) SNMPTrapAppender with the concrete,
JoeSnmp-specific implementation.
The Appender itself is/does a wee bit more than just that, and for more
than just the Joe implementation... Swarna is perhaps not optimally
advised to reinvent that particular wheel... But, of course, I'm
slightly biased.
Cheers,
Mark

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
