Well, the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB is an IETF standardized MIB that we can't just alter at will. That being said: 1) I'm actually in discussions with a few people to get it altered at the IETF level for the future. Now is the time to bring up new requests! 2) We can, however, extend it by adding objects to the Net-SNMP MIB tree that adds the needed functionality or definitions.

For things like this, we'd need to create an extension table in the Net-SNMP tree, which is a bit more work (or get the official MIB updated instead). AK> Which approaches could I take to have the offical Net-SNMP release be AK> able to provide more process related information? First off, if you have new things to submit and wan them to be considered, the right thing to do (when your patches are ready) are to post them to: http://www.net-snmp.org/patches/ But first, we need to figure out the right approach above. Note that #1 will take quite a while "process wise". So if you're looking for speed, #2 is the right direction. -- Wes Hardaker Please mail all replies to net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Achieve unprecedented app performance and reliability What every C/C++ and Fortran developer should know.
