ColdStart - Instant SNMP Traps

ColdStart is a tool to allow Network and Systems Administrators receive SNMP traps sent from switches, routers and other network equipment on their Android devices within milliseconds of being sent with no need for background polling, software installed on a server or crazy scripts sending to costly SMS services.

Simply set the trap destination to trap.coldstart.io with your SNMP community (generated by the app at setup) and you're done.

OIDs are translated to useful descriptions where possible and you can suggest edits or submit new descriptions for OIDs not in the system.

Data sent between your Android device and the ColdStart trap service is done over SSL so the only time data is in the clear is when the SNMP v2 traps are sent from your device to the ColdStart trap servers.

Most alerts arrive within 500ms and the system supports batching and rate limiting to ensure your device isn't overwhelmed with alerts.

FOR BEST RESULTS USE WIFI WHEN POSSIBLE AS GCM MESSAGES CAN BE DELAYED WHEN USING 3G ETC
