Hi Mark,
Thanks a lot for your reply !
Actually we don't need to have a NetSNMP GUI, but would like to render a GUI
based manager configuration, so that the administrator can directly add the
new managers without modifying any config files. So wanted to know if there
was any API available which would be used with our GUI code.
What if we create a manager table in the database and store all the relevant
data in it and retrieve it in local cache for sending notifications using
the NetSNMP libraries. Would there be any problems with this scenario?
Thanks,
V.
