Wes,
Thanks for the info. I have another question about my subagent. WHen I get an
SNMP get request I have to translate it (using my mib) and ask an external
source for the value of what I want. So in my handler function I just set the
delegated flag to 1 and build a cache object which I save off in a container.
When the response from the external source comes back I find the cache object
and set the requests->requestvb using snmp_set_var_typed_value function.
No matter what I set my timeout to in the snmpget command line application I
always get a nosuchname response. If I don't do the delegated and just set some
hardcoded value using the same mechanism in the handler, I get the value back.
Is there some trick to using the delegated flag? (I do set the delegated flag to
false in the delayed handler)
Thanks
Glenn
