A lot of the operational work that I do in Spectrum is related to mapping traps from a 'new' vendor that someone in the company brings and wants to monitor.
So I either do it manually via EventDisp/AlertMap files or through #mibtools I generally don't use the #eceditor because it overwrites and reformats my comments and updates in #eventdisp and #alertmap files.
That said, I'd like to see if people have been able to come up w/ a 'self-service' method for their customers that someone might be able to provide a MIB and a list of SNMP traps within that/those MIBs that they want to alert on, and hypothetically click a button to get them added to Spectrum. I don't really care which application this is done through whether it is #mibtools, #eceditor, web services or command line; I just am looking for a better way to automate this. It is a pain to have to walk through modifying everything to get them added.
This would also be great for polling threshold alerts (i.e. watches or the old "#spectrowatch for those who go way back : ) ) on new SNMP MIB attributes.
Once that is completed, allowing my customers to go and make modifications to those would be great as well, but if I can get ideas on the first part, I'll be happy (and deal w/ the second part later).
Anybody come up w/ any ideas on how to do it? There are very few command line options, if any, for MIBTools or the #eceditor, and I don't see any possible way to do it via web services.
Thanks.
