Hi,

1) How can I dynamically configure trap sinks? (while the agent is running)
    - reparsing snmpd.conf file?

    - access the configured list with internal API?

    - is there a MIB for this?)

2) What is a trapsess token in snmpd.conf?
   (the trapsess mentioned in this diagram)


                                         ___  trapsink
                                        /
    send_easy_trap ___   [  Trap      ] ____  trap2sink
                    ___  [ Generator  ]
    send_v2trap    /     [            ] ----- informsink
                                        ____
                                              trapsess

3) How could I implement a trap-distributor? (a seperate process to send all traps in the system)

    (Assuming there are several subagents, which send send_trap requests to my process via message queue for example.)

    3a) If I use a sub-agent "as is", as my trap-distributor,when sending traps from the subagent,

      do they go through the master agent?

    3b) Does a subagent have to support the notifications it sends?  

    (Can I use a sub-agent, that does not implement any objects, to send traps?

    (just by using send_v2trap with a variable binding list))

 

Sincerely,

Erez Makavy.
