What is the best open source SNMP monitoring tool? [closed]

Tags:

I am currently working on software that must emit SNMP traps for SNMP versions 1 & 2 and possibly v3 in the future. I have downloaded several and found them to be either too complex or too simplistic. All I want is to view traps and analyze the data structures within them, and the ability to import my custom MIB's. The best I have found so far is ireasonings MIB Browser, but would be greatful for any nice alternatives.

The only monitoring tools I've used that utilize SNMP monitoring are Nagios, Zenoss, OpenNMS, and the proprietary product from my company - but they're for full network monitoring.

How many devices are you looking to monitor? If it's only a couple, @Andrew's suggestion of netsnmp may be sufficient.
