Hi! I am trying to send an snmptrap if a critical or error-Message occures. I found some scripts in the net which told me to use destination traps {program("/usr/local/sbin/sendtrap.sh"); }; with following script #!/bin/sh while read line; do snmptrap .... done It has the problem that I can not manipulate the snmptrap statement, I tried further: destination d_send_trap { pipe("/tmp/snmptrap.pipe" template("snmptrap ..... '$HOST' '$FACILITY' '$PRIORITY' ... '$MSG'\n") template-escape(yes)); now I have the trouble how I get the statement from the pipe into execution. Does anyone have something in this kind working ?
