You could implement this either way. It would be perfectly feasible to embed an AgentX subagent into this application, in exactly the same way as with the previous subagent. It doesn't matter that there are no MIB objects to support - if the subagent doesn't register anything, the master agent will simply never pass any GET or SET requests to it. Generating traps would work exactly as before (including configuring trap destinations via the snmpd.conf file. Alternatively, you could treat this as a "standalone" application, and send traps directly, using the 'snmptrap.c' code as a template. In that case, you'd have to configure destination(s), etc within the application itself. But either approach would work.
