1.0  Overview
________________________



        1.1     The LSI SNMP Trap Logger application collects SNMP traps from the
                LSI SNMP Agent on Windows and Linux systems having one or more LSI
                SAS IR Controller installed (LSI SAS 1064/1068 family of
                controllers). After collecting the trap and retrieving the required
                information from the trap, the LSI SNMP Trap Logger application
                writes the information to the system log.  
 
                The LSI Trap Logger application has a popup functionality using
                that the application additionally alerts the user with a popup
                window informing that an event is written to the system log. 
 
                The LSI SNMP Trap Logger application runs as a Windows Service on
                the Windows operating system and runs as a daemon process on the
                Linux operating system.
