# SNMPTTCONVERT

Some vendors provide a file that can be imported into HP Openview using a HP Openview utiltity. SNMPTTCONVERT is a simple Perl script which will convert one of these files into the format used by SNMPTT. The file can contain multiple traps.

For example, if the file ciscotrap.txt contained:

     rpsFailed {.1.3.6.1.4.1.437.1.1.3} 6 5 - "Status Events" 1
     Trap received from enterprise $E with $# arguments: sysName=$1
     SDESC
     "A redundant power source is connected to the switch but a failure exists in
     the power system."
     EDESC

Executing snmpttconvert ciscotrap.txt would output:

     #
     #
     #
     EVENT rpsFailed .1.3.6.1.4.1.437.1.1.3.0.5 "Status Events" Normal
     FORMAT Trap received from enterprise $E with $# arguments: sysName=$1
     #EXEC qpage -f TRAP notifygroup1 "Trap received from enterprise $E with $# arguments: sysName=$1"
     SDESC
     "A redundant power source is connected to the switch but a failure exists in
     the power system."
     EDESC

Note: The #EXEC line is added by default. This can be changed by editing the SNMPTTCONVERT script.
