Hi,

1) How can I dynamically configure trap sinks? (while the agent is
running)
- reparsing snmpd.conf file?

- access the configured list with internal API?

- is there a MIB for this?)

2) What is a trapsess token in snmpd.conf?
(the trapsess mentioned in this diagram)

___ trapsink
/
send_easy_trap ___ [ Trap ] ____ trap2sink
___ [ Generator ]
send_v2trap / [ ] ----- informsink
____
trapsess

3) How could I implement a trap-distributor? (a seperate process to send
all traps in the system)

(Assuming there are several subagents, which send send_trap requests
to my process via message queue for example.)

3a) If I use a sub-agent "as is", as my trap-distributor,when
sending traps from the subagent,

do they go through the master agent?

3b) Does a subagent have to support the notifications it sends? =20

(Can I use a sub-agent, that does not implement any objects, to send
traps?

(just by using send_v2trap with a variable binding list))

=20

Sincerely,

Erez Makavy.
