Hi,
I'm just looking into running net-snmp on our mail servers to allow us to centrally monitor things like queue-size and throughput. I've got this going using lines like the following in snmpd.conf:
exec .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.50 qmail-queue /usr/local/bin/qmailmrtg7 q /var/qmail/queue
However, when I run the snmpd for net-snmp 5.2.1, I get a bunch of warnings that exec is deprecated, and that I should 'look at NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB'. Is there any documentation other than the MIB itself for how this new method should work? Googling for NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB shows a grand total of 8 hits!
The output from snmpwalk is showing my data, but it's not clear what is turning up where. I'd like to be able to specify index numbers, so that (for example) queue-size is always xxxx.50 regardless of whether the server has spam-filtering (xxxx.49). Is this possible with this method? What should MIBNUM be in the usage shown in the snmpd.conf manual page for extend?
I'm confused - if this is to be the future, shouldn't the path be better lit? :-)
Best Regards,
Howard
