+EMC hardware monitoring extension for Zabbix plugin
+===================================================
+
+EMC hardware monitoring extension
+---------------------------------
+
+EMC hardware monitoring extension plugin extends Zabbix plugin functionality by
+adding monitoring of incoming SNMP traps sent from EMC VNX arrays via management
+network to management VIP address. It configures snmptt to parse and pass EMC
+VNX specific traps to Zabbix. It also configures Zabbix by adding Template with
+appropriate items and triggers and by creating Hosts for each EMC VNX array.
