Hello all, I am new to this community and indeed SMARTS, my background is Netcool & I am awaiting the SMARTS training so please forgive any poor questions. I am trying to build a simple system to help with my future training, on another thread some very good people in this community have helped me to get up and running a Broker, SAM & Console (& registered in Broker) - my next strp is to get this all hooked up and receiving SNMP (port162) and Syslog (port 512) traps - I do not at this stage intend doing any IP Discovery or any of the more complicated parts of the SMARTS monitoring - I am only interested in passively listening for these types of traffic.

Can anyone list out the components I will need/start in order to get this going, I am aware of something called NOTIF which I believe is part of the SNMP handling but I also see in my SAM installation (./brcontrol) an "ic-syslog-adapter" and "ic-trapd-receiver" - I am a little lost at the moment as to how all these components fit together so would appreciate some simple overview.

Once I have these up & running and receiving SNMP/SYSLOG I have a huge Netcool SNMP & SYSLOG rulesfile (approx 400+ MIBS) to integrate into the SMARTS solution so would appreciate anybodys experience of doing this - I am hoping I can programatically achieve this!!!

thanks, Mark.
