Dear All, I need some help in implementing an unusual sub-agent logic.
For implementing tablular variables I can use the skeleton code generated by either of mib2c.array-user.conf, mib2c.iterate-access.conf or mib2c.create-dataset.conf All of these need either a container (that can be recursed) or an iterator logic implemented in the sub-agent. If effect the data for the table is available in the sub-agent. In the iterator-access logic too though the table's data could be maintained at an external source but it has be populated in the loop_context and data_context during each set of _get_first_data_point() and subsequent _get_next_data_point() calls. Now when a get, get-next, get-bulk request comes net-snmp library code automatically picks the data/iterates the data and returns the desired values. I am implementing a sub-agent for which the requirement is somewhat unusual. The sub-agent is part of an EMS(Element Management System) and the master and the sub-agent together are like a proxy agent to the Network Element(NE)s that the EMS manages. The sub-agent handles standard tabular variables like ipAddrTable (IP-MIB) but it has to return the table data for the specified NE and not for the machine where the sub-agent is running. So in this sense my proxy agent is like a request forwarder. Essentially my requirement is that whenever a get, get-next or get-bulk request is received at my sub-agent, I want to make a propietary call to my NE to obtain the value for the oid(s). How can I use any skeleton code (with help from any .conf file) for this purpose? I explored using mib2c.iterate-access.conf and mib2c.array-user.conf but did not get convincing results. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and warmest regards, Viren P.S. I have already resolved the issue of supplying the NE's data(like ip address) in each request to my proxy agent from the manager. So this is a non-issue for my requirement. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
