I searched for the code netsnmp_cache in nsCache.c file. This strcuture is used to retrieve the information for this table. But, where we are actually filling this structure with datas. For tcpTable example, this netsnm-_cache is called as a paramenter for tcpTable_load but never used. > KN> the first time, data should be stored in the agent memeory for all the > KN> tables when we start the agent ( as like snmpd.conf) .

Yes. you are correct and we can do it like that. But I need to catch all the datafor all the tables at one place and use it whenever i need it. But, these data should get updated at regular intervals. If I call anything inside init() method, then during agent startup it will retrieve the data, but then init() method will never b call again. So, I cannot fetch the current data in regular intervals. is there any function which calls in loop throughtout the snmpd is running? Thanks for your help. Regards, Karthik.
