Example config for extend?

Hi,

I'm just looking into running net-snmp on our mail servers to allow us
to centrally monitor things like queue-size and throughput. I've got
this going using lines like the following in snmpd.conf:

exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.50 qmail-queue /usr/local/bin/qmailmrtg7 q
/var/qmail/queue

However, when I run the snmpd for net-snmp 5.2.1, I get a bunch of
warnings that exec is deprecated, and that I should 'look at
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB'. Is there any documentation other than the MIB
itself for how this new method should work? Googling for
NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB shows a grand total of 8 hits!

The output from snmpwalk is showing my data, but it's not clear what is
turning up where. I'd like to be able to specify index numbers, so that
(for example) queue-size is always xxxx.50 regardless of whether the
server has spam-filtering (xxxx.49). Is this possible with this method?
What should MIBNUM be in the usage shown in the snmpd.conf manual page
for extend?

I'm confused - if this is to be the future, shouldn't the path be
better lit? :-)

Best Regards,

Howard
