Does not seem like a trivial solution. The alertd has a 1 minute frequency of looking up new logs and then sending out SNMP alerts based on log content.
The 1 option I would pursue is creating the SNMP packet directly in hex and sending the content out using SIDEBAND::send. Since SNMP is UDP and fairly defined protocol, you should be able to construct the packet but I would not typically go down this option unless it is really really required.
To warn you I had something similar requested to be alarmed as SNMP alerts and 2 weeks in Production and they were complaining about "too many events". Thats when we implemented the 5 minutes consolidated event.
