Hi, We are developing a system for monitoring from a central point the applications (Web Services) deployed in several hosts using Cricket & net-snmp. The idea is to have net-snmp only installed in the central point, not in the remote hosts (in fact, in the most of the cases, we can not install anything in those hosts). So, the architecture is as follows: + Cricket polls for a certain OID to net-snmp. + Net-snmp launches a Perl script. + The Perl script sends an HTTP request to the right host and returns the answer.
So, the question is: how can I say to the Perl script which is the remote host related to the initial request if the only information it has is the OID, which is the same for all the hosts? Several solutions: + The OID string contains a reference to the host (ugly! and not portable) + Several instances of net-snmp running in the same machine, each of them listening in a different port. I'm not sure if that is possible or may be is too heavy (we are thinking monitoring around 100 remote systems). + Other suggestions? So, thank very much in advance for any hint :-) Isi, ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
