I'm trying to learn how to add an instrumented/coded MIB to Net-SNMP. I have exhausted everything I can find on the Web, so I turning to this group help. I'm running Net-SNMP 5.7.2 under CentOS Linux. Before I state my question, I'll share what I have done so far.
I have downloaded Net-SNMP, configured it, built it, and installed it. I ran some basic walks on the System group to make sure the agent is working. I created an extremely simple MIB that only contains four scalars called CLAY-TEST-MIB. My intent is to start off simple and add a table or two later. I ran smilint and worked out all the issues. I ran snmptranslate +CLAY-TEST-MIB on one of my scalar objects to verify that I could be loaded and the correct OID was displayed. I place the MIB in my $HOME/.snmp/mib directory. I added "mibs +CLAY-TEST-MIB" to my $HOME/.snmp/snmp.conf file. I created a directory to work in and change to it. In that directory, I executed "mib2c -c mib2c.scalar.conf clayTestScalars" as all my scalar objects are under the clayTestScalars OID. The result of this mib2c execution are two files: clayTestScalars.h and clayTestScalars.c. At this point I have not filled in anything for these template files. The next steps are giving me trouble. That is I have two things I'm struggling with: 1. How do I build the code 2. How do I dynamically load it in the agent I see that in /usr/local/share/snmp/mib2c-data, there is a mfd-makefile-m2m. I believe it is use with mib2c to build a makefile for tables. I don't see one for scalars. So how do I build the code and how does it get dynamically loaded into the agent?
