Yes. The configuration may be a bit complex, but it won't require any code. You'll need to make use of the -I switch as well though to turn on some modules in the subagent, and to turn off modules in the master. David> 2.

There isn't a great set of documentation on how to do it. The important part is you need to: 1) configure the master agent to *not* do one of the mib modules. Run snmpd with -f -Le -Dmib_init and watch the output. That lists a bunch of tokens that you need to decide which you want to run in the sub agent and which in the master. Pick an example, say "proc" which is for process monitoring. Run the master agent with "-I -proc" and the subagent with "-I proc". 2) separate the configuration of the two. Run the master agent as normal, but have the sub-agent read from a different set of directories for configuration (use the SNMPCONFPATH env variable to control that). David> 3 Seems that snmpd can be used as a AgentX sub-agent, but it's David> has very limitted functionality as is. Nope, it should work just fine as a sub-agent. Now.... you also said "disman" at one point. The disman/event-mib monitoring *must* run in the master agent if you want it to be able to monitor the sub-agents. It will not work at all in the subagent. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
