The protocol for agents (remote or local monitor scripts)
to deliver failures to the mon server:

Trap consists of tag/value pairs which are separated by newlines. The
first tag must be "pro", which is the protocol version.

Tags which are understood are:

#
# MON-specific tags
# pro   protocol
# aut   auth
# typ   type (0=mon, 1=snmpv1)
# spc   specific type (TRAP_*)
# seq   sequence
# grp   group
# svc   service
# hst   host
# sta   status (opstatus)
# tsp   timestamp as time(2) value
# sum   summary output
# dtl   detail (terminated by \n.\n)
#
# SNMP-specific tags
# ent   enterprise OID
# agt   agent address
# gtp   generic trap type
# stp   enterprise-specific trap type
# tmp   sysUptime timestamp
# vbl   varbindlist (OID = value)
#

If an alert for a watch or service is delivered to a mon server and
its configuration does not include that watch or service, it will use
the default watch/service "default" to deliver the alert. If "default"
is not defined in the mon.cf, the alert will be logged and then discarded.


watch default
    service default
	period wd {Sun-Sat}
	    alert default.alert


monitors are called with these env vars set:
MON_WATCH
MON_SERVICE


There will be a special alert script called "remote.alert" which
delivers a failure detected locally to a remote mon process. This
allows centralization of alert handling, and it allows distributed
mon processes.
