Rocsca,


I'ld like to know why I can't get any information that I get launching 'amavisd-agent' from a shell, when I execute this command from a shell:
# snmpwalk -v2c -c "***" localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.15312.2.1


The amavisd-agent presently is only a demo program to show how a
true SNMP agent could obtain the information from amavisd.


Maybe I need to install the some MIBs?? Where I can download them?? It is
possible the to monitor my agent with MRTG?? Someone have similar
experience?? Is there some MIB storing information about spam message
received by a domain?? Is It possible to maintain this information too?? Maybe I asks many questions, but I'ld like to start a discussion about this
argument...


From a TODO file:

SOME OF THE MORE SELF-CONTAINED PROJECTS
- provide a true SNMP agent, based on already available database
  of statistics counters, and giving some thoughts on designing
  a true MIB;

It would be really nice if somebody would tackle that project.

OK, I'm free, have time.

Please outline requirements and goals.

Do you wish this to be a true snmp agent solution or a web/email/ console solution that mimics the snmp protocol?

Expected features (minimum acceptable as well)?

Now my two cents worth, making the agent adhere to the snmp protocol makes it difficult to do in perl without a lot of hacking, a C solution might be a better choice and would make communication via the snmp C API a simple one to achieve but would limit the use without writing a stand-alone client to go with it, of course the client could be perl based but only speculation.

Of course, you could go the PHP/snmp route and use apache to handle the communication aspect which would effectively act as agent/client via a browser without too much difficulty.

Anyway, as number 5 says, need input......
