You wouldn't even need to write any new code whatsoever - just configure suitable "monitor" directive(s), to watch the appropriate values in your MIB. But the strict answer to your question: > Do I have to have snmpd compiled with disman module to use the alarm > mechanism is no - you don't *have* to use the DisMan Event module to do this. It would be perfectly possible to register your own "snmp_alarm" calls to check the relevant conditions, and generate a trap accordingly. > And are there any examples of sending traps from subagents? Subagent or main agent - makes no difference. The same API is used in both cases (see the FAQ). And the mib2c.notify.conf template will generate a suitable routine for sending a given trap. All you'd have to do is fill in the appropriate values for the payload varbinds, and decide when to call this routine. (i.e. the "snmp_alarm" trigger routine mentioned above). I don't think there are any specific examples in the Net-SNMP code. The closest would be the link{Up,Down} notifications, but I have a feeling that this uses the DisMan Event MIB framework.
