Hey,
Let me rephrase my last
question:
Please
read through, this might be interesting.
The
scenario
-------------------
- In
my subagent process the agent_check_and_process() is running within a
thread. (Linux thread)
- I'd
like to able to generate traps within the sub-agent process.
Questions 1
------------------
Is
there a multi-thread problem with using send_v2trap() in the main process, while
the agent_check_and_process() thread is running?
(I
guess the answer is that there is a problem, because both threads require the
same socket for sending agentX PDUs.)
The
problem
------------------
I'd
like to solve this without changing the Library function
agent_check_and_process().
How?
Proposed solution
---------------------------
- Open
a session over Unix Domain socket (so that the agent_check_and_process() will
listen on it)
- my
main process will write the trap parameters to that
socket.
- In the callback funciton of that
session, instead of parsing an agentX PDU,
I'll read the parameters from the socket, and invoke send_v2Trap().
I'll read the parameters from the socket, and invoke send_v2Trap().
Questions:
----------------
1) Can
it be done that way?
2) Am
I missing some details?
Any
comment appreciated,
Erez.

Subject: Can't send trap from a running sub-agent.
I have a sub-agent
running as a thread.
If I want to send a
trap (using send_v2trap), I have to interupt the sub-agents
agent_check_and_process() in order to send the trap.
Is there some event
mechanism in net-snmp to allow to interupt the sub-agent?
Thanks,
erez.
