Thank you for your reply, Anders.

I created an agentx.conf file with this single line:

agentxPingInterval 5


I tried putting agentx.conf into one the following directories to no avail:
/var/agentx/
/var/snmp/
Var/net-snmp/

Where should the agentx.conf file go? I did a search on this topic and couldn’t 
find an answer.

It is still 15 seconds of disconnection.

Thanks again,

Mostafa

Hi Mostafa,

you need to set it in the config file for your agentx(e.g agentx.conf), not in 
snmpd.conf

 AgentX master disconnected us, reconnecting in 15

I would like to reduce this time to 5 seconds.

Is this time specifieded in agentXPingInterval  as described here?   
http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/snmpd.conf.html

However if I add agentXPingInterval 5 to the snmpd.conf file, I get this error:
/var/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 35: Warning: Unknown token:agentXPingInterval.

I found this code in agentx_config.c which leads me to believe that this value 
is hardcoded and not set in any configuration file. So changing it requires 
editing and recompile of the code.

#ifdef USING_AGENTX_SUBAGENT_MODULE
    /*
     * tokens for master agent
     */
    if (SUB_AGENT == agent_role) {
        /*
         * set up callbacks to initiate master agent pings for this session
         */
        netsnmp_ds_register_config(ASN_INTEGER,
                                netsnmp_ds_get_string(NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID,
                                   NETSNMP_DS_LIB_APPTYPE),
                                   "agentxPingInterval",
                                   NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID,
                                   NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_AGENTX_PING_INTERVAL);
        /* ping and/or reconnect by default every 15 seconds */
        netsnmp_ds_set_int(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID,
                           NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_AGENTX_PING_INTERVAL, 15);

    }
#endif /* USING_AGENTX_SUBAGENT_MODULE */

Thanks,

Mostafa
