## SNMP Agent

### Big Sister as an SNMP trap source

Since version 0.38 Big Sister includes support for sending SNMP traps.

Traps may be sent on the following occasions:

- alarm raised by bb_event_generator - alarm cleared - reminder sent by bb_event_generator - alarm acknowledgement received - any service changes status (version>0.38)

Big Sister will (try) to act as an SNMP proxy, the agent reported is usually the IP address of the host associated with the service. If this IP address is not determinable then the agent is reported to be the system on which the SNMP trap is generated.
