There is no built-in way to forward a trap from a ruleset.
But you can write a script and run it in an Action Node, and have that
script use the snmptrap command to send a trap of your own devising to
whatever box and port you like.

Hello Everyone

I wonder if anyone can assist me with the following.

I have written a ruleset to inform me (using xecho to send the message to
my
terminal) to inform me when
no Node Up event has been received after a Node Down has been received
after
the event retention period has expired.
This works fine, BUT I now need to send this trap to another machine that
actually does the paging for me .i.e. I only
want to generate a pager messages when certain conditions are being
satisfied by the ruleset.

Is this possible and how does one send a trap only these particular traps
to
another machine. All the assistance will be highly appreciated.

Regards
