[sorry for the cross-posting]
I've been doing some fixes and slight rewrites of my SNMP 'subagent'
that interfaces the 'rndc' with SNMP queries/tables.
----- s n i p -----
Bug fixes
+ Missing hard-return in a graph item.
+ Cleanup the 'process args and get next OID/value'. Can now do bulk queries.
Misc changes
+ Moved/renamed the CVS repository (s/snmp/bind9-snmp) because of a freshmeat
announcement.
+ More verbose explanation in README.txt.
+ Rewrite as a persistent pass-through instead of a 'simple' pass-through.
In practise this means that the script will stay running (for a couple of
minutes, determined by the snmpd) instead of closing every time. This lead
to HUGE speed increases and statistic stability. The script dumps the
information _every time it starts_, which meant that in the previous way
of running, a full walk of the MIB tree required HUNDREDS (depending on
number of domains naturally) of information dumps!!!
+ Fix so that the script can be running with debugging even on a live system
(ie, from the SNMP system).
- Quite extensive debug output cleanup was also done in the process.
+ Move around some function for ease of readability.
+ To avoid the bind9 information logfile to grow to humongus sizes, remove
it (and the delta file) after each dump.
