That's pretty much the way ORACLE's management application works. That puts you into pretty good company?
>I'm working on a high speed networking project where we have a lot of computers running an application that we'd like to be able to re-configure and also monitor their performance. >The question is, does it make sense for the application to act as a manager to get and set the MIB variables while at the same time have another external manager acting as the "real" manager. >So, basically any status we'd want to report would get set by the application and the external SNMP manager would get them when it wanted them. Values set by the external manager could be read using some embedded SNMP get function in the application upon initialization or, if there are MIB variables set by the external manager that would require immediate action by the application, the agent would have routines registered with it that would send simple UDP messages to the application notifying it that it needed to act upon new information.
