If you want to monitor other boxes, then there needs to be an agent running on each one, and you'll use some form of management software to query them. > One more silly question, if I want to monitor several computers, > may I have to create as many agents as the computers i want to check, Yes - one running on each computer you wish to monitor. Remember that the agent is the *server* side of the standard client-server model. > or add multiple hosts in just one agent? Strictly speaking, this is technically possible in some circumstances. But I *STRONGLY* suggest you concentrate on the standard approach (one box, one server), until you are more familiar with SNMP.
