Re: Integrating net-SNMP agent into my application

Hi,

This is the right group for helping people doing just that. In fact I am 
doing the exact same thing, still not finished, but further along the way. 
The documentation is very clear on that. Please check the tutorials:

1) Subagent    http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Writing_a_Subagent
2) Shared object 
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Writing_a_Dynamically_Loadable_Object
3) Chaging the master agent 
http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/TUT:Writing_a_MIB_Module

All of these provide a custom handler placeholder that you can place your 
own code to interface with your application. Of course you will need to add 
support from your application to serve these requests and fire traps.

Start by writing your own MIB (definition) file describing your variables. 
Then try mib2c to see if it can generate the code for you from the MIB. I 
couldn't get it to work for me (Solaris 10.5), so I had to tough it out from 
scratch using the examples http://www.net-snmp.org/dev/agent/examples.html

BR,
Nikos
