Re: [snmpsim-users] Trap/Inform Receiver?

[Ilya E. <il...@gl...>]

Strictly speaking, snmpsim does not include NotificationReceiver 
application. But snmpsim already implements some general housekeeping 
stuff like configuring SNMP engine from command line, SQL backend, 
process execution...

As I understand, what you need is a standalone app that would listen and 
log (?) incoming notifications possibly coming from snmpsim. Is that 
correct? Anything beyond that?

I'm asking as I'm planning to build a pysnmp-based notification receiver 
for a long time. But I was not sure what it should be doing with 
received messages besides simple logging (like Net-SNMP's snmptrapd does).
