SCOM 2012 Customizing SNMP Trap Event Data

$

Alright so I have regular trap event monitoring working as setup in this example.

However what I want is something that's far more helpful. For one so it doesn't require me to click on each event to find out what happened, but to do much more.

The goal we are trying to achieve with our SNMP Trap Rule is to be able to have SCOM take in the trap, then pass that data to a script. This script could then dissect the trap info and possibly even parse through a supplied MIB as to provide more specific info about the trap being raised. Then based on the severity of the trap we could have SCOM possibly even generate an alert.

This would be a powerful addition to the monitoring that SCOM already does, but it's been very difficult to track down any information on how to do it, or if anyone has done it. 

This thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/80b05ea2-b03c-42a1-90f8-1de48860766b/alerts-snmp-traps-scripts-and-propertybags

Seems to come pretty close to the answer, but there isn't much info on some of the steps that he took.

I currently have been trying to create a Datasource that uses the "NetworkLibrary!System.NetworkManagement.SnmpTrapProvider" and then manipulate it's results, but when I was trying the property bag script I wasn't having any luck. 

So if anyone has any info or an example of passing SNMP Trap data to a script in SCOM that would be so helpful!
