All,
Currently there is no default logging mechanism for the Windows binary distrobution. I hadn't given it a whole lot of thought when I threw together the code to allow snmptrapd to run as a Windows service. snmptrapd is pretty much useless running as a service without a handler application such as traptoemail, but some users may just need simple text file logging. I mention this because as of right now the event log code for Windows is not being used. That is one option for default logging and IMHO should eventually be the default. Until this code is tested and debugged, however, I feel that a default logging mechanism is needed.
I would like to propose that we implement something like "-Lf ../var/[appname].log" as the default on Windows. The changes could be made to the winservice.* files and not affect other platforms. I suggest this for the short term because I believe the change would be a simple one and, of course, can be overridden if so desired.
How about adding the command line options for snmptrapd into the snmptrapd.conf file? It looks like snmpd already has some of the command line options in the snmpd.conf file. For example:
dumpPackets 0 printEvenNumbers 0 doNotFork 0 format %M-%L-%y %W syslogFacility d loggingOutput f /var/log/snmptrapd.log pidFile /var/run/snmptrapd.pid doNotLogTraps 0
