This feature will be in RHEL6.1. There is a new project called
'foghorn' that creates SNMPv2 traps from dbus signals.

git://git.fedorahosted.org/foghorn.git

In RHEL6.1 (and the latest upstream release), certain cluster
components will emit dbus signals when certain events occurs. This
includes fencing. So when a node is fenced a dbus signal is generated
by fenced. The foghorn service catches this signal and generated
SNMPv2 trap.

Note that foghorn runs as an AgentX subagent, so snmpd must be running
as the master agentx.
