Hi all,
I am quite new to SNMP, so I'm beginning to understand how it works.
I have to build a custom agent; the mission of the agent will be getting
traces sent from several processes in the machine to a UDP port (so the
agent should be all the time listening on that port). After certain events
(mainly errors), the agent will send traps to the manager listening; also,
it should internally store certain variables (number of warning errors per
process, and many othesr), in order to reply to possible GET messages from
the agent.
My guess (not knowing very well how net-snmp agent works) would be having
a thread reading on the UDP port and processing the messages, and another
one, the agent, listening to SNMP messages from the manager and replying to
them...
To make it a little more complicated, I need to run these custom-agents
in several machines, as our system is redundant, so I will also need to have
a master agent listening to those sub-agents.
I have been investigating on the net about SNMP Open Source
implementations, and net-snmp seems to me the most complete; now I am
reading all documentation.
Now, after this boring stuff ;-), my question is: do you have any advices
on where should I start? Can I get some examples from somewhere? Should I
follow some particular order in the development? Any advice is more than
welcome!
Thank you so much for your time and help.
Best regards!
Raul
