Actually, the presence of that snmptrapd tool always made us think that
there is no point in writing a native input for rsyslog. So that's a prime
reason that only the SNMP output is there.

While I need to sell this internally, I think we could get this SNMP piece
done as part of such a quick job. If folks would really commit to $600, I
would try to drive this forward.

On Netflow: that's unfortunately something thats *far* beyond the scope of
these simple jobs. We would need to do a real estimate, but it's in a
different ballpark. Sorry I have no better answer, I personally would also
love to see it... (but keep on your mind that Adiscon's core business is
developing software (and consulting/support along that), so there is no
"big project" that otherwise funds development).
