SNMP info from device to splunk

We have a device setup to send out SNMP information to splunk, which is a useid from AD and their client IP address. Is possible to use a script within Splunk that can parse our that relevant information and send it to another device?

thank you

yes, you can forward a subset of your data to a third-party system. information is here:

For net-snmp support your best shot is to post questions on a net-snmp forum/mailing list or similar.

thank you. So net-snmp and splunk are on the same box, windows 2003. when I run the command "snmptranslate -IR -Td IF-MIB::linkDown" I get the following
C:\usr\perl>snmptranslate -IR -Td IF-MIB::linkDown
No log handling enabled - using stderr logging
C:/usr/etc/snmp/snmp.conf: line 4: Warning: Unknown token: snmpTrapdAddr.
C:/usr/etc/snmp/snmp.conf: line 5: Warning: Unknown token: authCommunity.
IF-MIB::linkDown

No, what you should do is setup net-snmp and have it listen to port 162, then have Splunk read the files that net-snmp writes to.

OK, so getting our device to send snmp to splunk has been a little challenge.
On a windows box with splunk installed, do I setup a receiver on port 162 for SNMP to access the snmp infor from our device?
I have net-snmp installed as per another post on here.
