Creating SNMP Strings To Trap ALOM Console Messages

Greetings To All!

I am trying to accomplish the following:

Using a public SNMP string, create a trap which will trap ALOM console messages on a Solaris Sunfire T-1000 ALOM console. The platform is Solaris 10. These newly created traps need to be configured in such a way that they will send trapped ALOM console messages to a log file.

I have visited the docs.sun.com website as well as other websites and was able to find some background information, but not enough to put together a complete game plan. Specifically, I am missing the following information:

(1) The configuration file or files where I would configure the SNMP traps
(2) What process or processes/daemons need to be enabled/configured so as to implement/enable SNMP trapping
(3) The name of the log file where the results of ALOM console message trapping results would typically be routed to.

I think I have it all covered in steps 1-3 above, but if I am missing something or leaving something out, then I am not averse to being corrected and/or admonished. As I stated previously, I have visited several websites looking for enough information, but cannot seem to get it all altogether. I would deeply appreciate anyone who has ever done this before to share his/her advice/experience/notes with me. Thanks in advance!

NAME
mdlogd - Solaris Volume Manager daemon SYNOPSIS
mdlogd DESCRIPTION
mdlogd implements a simple daemon that watches the system console looking for messages written by the Solaris Volume Manger. When a Solaris Volume Manager message is detected, mdlogd sends a generic SNMP trap. To enable traps, you must configure mdlogd into the SNMP framework. See Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide. USAGE
mdlogd implements the following SNMP MIB: SOLARIS-VOLUME-MGR-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN IMPORTS enterprises FROM RFC1155-SMI DisplayString FROM SNMPv2-TC; -- Sun Private MIB for Solaris Volume Manager sun OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { enterprises 42 } sunSVM OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { sun 104 } -- this is actually just the string from /dev/log that -- matches the md: regular expressions. -- This is an interim SNMP trap generator to provide -- information until a more complete version is available. -- this definition is a formalization of the old -- Solaris DiskSuite mdlogd trap mib. svmOldTrapString OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE (0..255)) ACCESS read-only STATUS mandatory DESCRIPTION "This is the matched string that was obtained from /dev/log." ::= { sunSVM 1 } -- SVM Compatibility ( error trap ) svmNotice TrapTRAP-TYPE ENTERPRISE sunSVM VARIABLES { svmOldTrapString } DESCRIPTION "SVM error log trap for NOTICE. This matches 'NOTICE: md:'" ::= 1 svmWarningTrap TRAP-TYPE ENTERPRISE sunSVM VARIABLES { svmOldTrapString } DESCRIPTION "SVM error log trap for WARNING.. This matches 'WARNING: md:'" ::= 2 svmPanicTrap TRAP-TYPE ENTERPRISE sunSVM VARIABLES { svmOldTrapString } DESCRIPTION "SVM error log traps for PANIC.. This matches 'PANIC: md:'" ::= 3 END ATTRIBUTES
