Does watcher support sending SNMPTraps as an action? ---

Hey, even though watcher itself does not allow you to send an SNMP trap, you could use the watcher HTTP webhook action to send data to logstash, which features an [HTTP input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http.html) on the receiving side and run the [exec output](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-exec.html), which then calls the `snmptrap` binary. --Alex ---

I see, is a good way to do it. Sadly I just notice Watcher is not free and hence I can't use it even without comercial purpose 😕 Thanks! ---
