Thanks Dave,but I forgot to say that this is only a test of the real environment.The snmp daemon is only a part of a complete application. Of course when the application is shut-down we use kill -TERM to stop the snmpd. The problem is when the termination of the application is not controlled by any problem (which is not very frequent, but possible). That's why we need to dump the data on real-time

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this 
data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
