Hi, I have enabled polling the snmpd master agent through specifying agentxPollInterval in the application's config file and it works as desired. However, we would like to send some traps as early as possible in our application (which is started as a daemon on Linux often immediately after snmpd is started), and at that time, the master agent does not seem to accept our traps for delivery! Q: Is there a means to find out if the agentx connection to the master agent is up, so we can postpone sending the traps until the master agent is capable of processing them? I know very well that the sending the traps to a sink is unreliable and in the time between checking and actually sending the traps the snmpd master agent may already have gone again, but at present we seem to lose 100% of the traps we send at start-up of our application and getting some through would be a great enhancement (after all, the chances are high that if we check for the master agent and see that it's up, sending traps will actually succeed).
