Adding additional site trap sinks?

Is it possible to add additional trap sinks?

trap2sink server1
trap2sink server2
trap2sink snmp.10.228.176.0


This is what i see in bic.ini
[snmp]
cluster_trapsink = snmp.10.228.176.0
site_trapsink = snmp

Hi Tim,
We don't support external trap sinks currently. However, this can be supported by the site trap daemon to function as a proxy. Please let us know if you have such requirements.

Regards, Bo.

Is there a guide? We need to forward event alerts to Zenoss

I know how to modify the snmptrapd manually but assume there is a way to change this on the api so if the service moves it maintains its settings.

There is no API support currently to change the snmptrapd settings. This needs to be an enhancement in our SNMP system to forward traps to Zenoss. For now, you can set up the alert system to trigger email alerts for Nimbula SNMP traps. Please let me know if you need help on setting up the alert rules.

Thanks, Bo.
