I'm not sure what to use?? I just want to try and use my cacti server to accept traps? and then i guess translate them in turn passing them to syslog-ng.....from there I think i can handle it?? Any suggestions to setup examples /working configs setups??

I use the net-snmp package.
I have trapd.log send all traps to Syslog.
I then have Syslog-NG send all messages to a database.
Then I use the Cacti plug-in for Syslog called haloe to view them in one nice web interface.

So my trap flow looks like this:
Traps-->Traplogd-->Syslog-NG-->MySQL

My snmptrapd uses the "-Ls 7" option sending my traps to syslog local 7 fascility.

I have the exact documentation that I use on FreeBSD UNIX here:
