SNMP

The most effective way to index SNMP events is to use snmptrapd to write them to a FIFO.


First, configure snmptrapd to write to a FIFO rather than to a file on disk. 


# mkfifo /var/run/snmp-fifo
# snmptrapd -o /var/run/snmp-fifo

Then, configure the Splunk Server to add the FIFO as a data input.
