Handling SNMP Traps with Hobbit Hobbit is a fast replacement for the Big Brother monitoring/alert system. There were some ways to handle SNMP traps with Big Brother, but none that I could find that worked with Hobbit. (I hope I haven't reinvented the wheel....) I'm running all of this on the same computer. I got the idea after reading an article on integrating SNMP traps with Nagios in Sys Admin.
