Hmmm... that sounds suspiciously close to the functionality of the DisMan Expression MIB. There's the basis of an implementation of this in the Net-SNMP agent, but it's been a while since I looked at it, and I can't remember how fully funtional it is. But it might be something worth looking at. > So the point is, my pass scripts need to > GET other object in the management scope to make dynamic and conditional > decisions on to drive the value of the OID’s that the pass scripts > themselves expose. > > The problem is—if I actually do a snmpget from the pass script, it times > out. ....

I suspect that you're probably pushing the boundaries of what is sensible to address with the "pass" mechanism. If you need to perform "internal" agent queries, then you might be better of handling this using a C-based MIB module within the agent itself. That way you can take advantage of the "internal query" routines provided by the 'utilities/iquery' module. This is exactly what the DisMan Event MIB does - see the code under 'disman/event' for examples of how to do this. > -- is this some kind of Bad Thing for pass script usage anyways? That would be my call, yes. > If so, can you folks suggest an alternate strategy? See above.
