We're running on Mon the same machine where HPOV is installed, so we use ovevent (see the alert script in contrib).
Nonetheless, OpenView has a trap daemon that receives plain old vanilla SNMP traps. I've also set up Mon on other machines and modified my alert script to use a local snmptrap program or function to send traps to OpenView. The Net-SNMP package is very useful, particulary as it also contains perl modules to do SNMP stuff (such as send traps). Scott Prater Dpto. Sistemas [EMAIL PROTECTED] SERVICOM 2000 Av.
