Hi OPSAWG, I am a syslog implementor and would like to endorse the work planned to support mapping of SNMP to syslog. There are already implementations available, those that I know out of my head are Kiwi Syslog, WinSyslog, MonitorWare Agent and rsyslog (default or to-become default on many linux distributions). I am sure there are also plenty of others. I think Cisco has created a private syslog MIB, at least I think I remember we used it some time ago.
I am the author of rsyslog. While I have not written the SNMP plugins, I know from discussions that having no standard MIB for syslog messages causes each vendor to define its own or (mis)use some private extension of other vendors (as we initially did). Similar issues exist on the receiving side. While probably not mainstream, there are a number of installations who do syslog-to-snmp (and vice versa) processing. So there is operator demand for this kind of mapping.
