This statement was taken from the 5 Tuturial for Net-SNMP Agent: snmpd

Depending on configuration, snmpd may also act as an AgentX or
SMUX master agent=20

The Net-SNMP agent can be built to monitor things such as=20

* network traffic=20

* disk space=20

* disk IO=20

* CPU usage=20

* ... and more "

What I would like to do is have 'snmpd' run as a AgentX sub-agent and
monitor for LOAD, DISK, PROC, and FILE based on the snmpd.conf file.
Then generate traps via DisMan. This tutorial statement above gives me
the indictaion I can do this.

1. Can I launch 1 snmpd as the "master agent" (snmpd.conf as master
agent) and another snmpd as a sub-agent ( with -X argument) and reading
snmpdx.conf directly with the PROC, LOAD, DISK, FILE turned on and have
this all work without any extra coding? Document seems to say this, but
it doesn't work when I try it out.=20
2. Can you use snmpd to do both this functions and is there a good
writeup somewhere on how to do it, in case I'm missing something in my
configuration and snmpd startups?
3. Seems that snmpd can be used as a AgentX sub-agent, but it's has
very limitted functionality as is.

Probable has you can see, I'm just leaning this area for a new project,
so please be gentle in your reponses :-)

My final configuration on this project will have 1 master agent and
multiple subagents, 1 running on the same server as the master and the
others on different servers. Though I would in case this might help
explain what I'm trying to achieve and the best way to ahcieve it.

Thanks in Advance, David
