Hi Prema, SNMP isn't handled in Monasca and I have little experience in
that area. This would be new development.

It is possible to map binary data, such as health/status of a system or
component. The usual way is to use the value 0 for up/OK and 1 for
down/NOT_OK. A component would need to be developed to handle SNMP traps,
then translate and send them to the Monasca API as binary data. Possibly,
this component could be added to the Agent.

Using the Monasca Alarm API, an alarm could be defined, such as
max(snmp{}) > 0.

The latency for a min/max alarm expression in Monasca is very low.
