how to use net-snmp for monitoring java processes in linux

Hi All,

I am very new to net-snmp. I have many hosts with each running few java processes. These processes have custom statistics which we want to be reported back to an SNMP server  for e.g. EM7. I started off by writing a separate ".mib" for each process and its scalar statistics. Now I have following questions to answer:


1-      How do I feed these multiple .mibs( one mib for each process on that host)  to snmpd on that host?

2-      How does snmpd get configured to respond to a get for an individual statistic for a process?

3-      How does the process communicate the statistics?

(For step 3, in my mind one of the following will be needed:

  a) i have to write add extra layer in my java processes that interacts with snmpd agent. If so how ? code examples?

 b) can I write some generic code which can be invoked by my snmpd to read some data repository (a file or db etc.). If so how and how can I integrate it with snmpd? Code examples?

c) I have to write sub agents? Do I also have to use AgentPro necessarily to generate java stubs for my mib files ? if so how do I plug them in to snmpd ?




I guess I do not have one clear way of implementing a solution. A feasible solution recommendation would really help me get around this. Since I have been
reading information in pieces but so far found no clear example on "how to monitor custom statistics of java processes on " etc. to explain all the pieces.

Your prompt response will really help me in my endeavor and probably I can write that example for the rest of us with your help.
