Hi, I am new to SNMP and this is my first SNMP project: to make my application SNMP-enabled. Lets refer to my application as MYAPP for discussion. MYAPP basically consists of various/different applications all running on the same node. All the parameters to be monitored for all these applications (application A, application B, and so on) will be the same. There will be multiple instances of the same application: for example, application A instance #1 , application A instance #2, application B instance # 1, application B instance #2 and so on. The number of instances per application is not fixed and configurable for each run of MYAPP.
To monitor MYAPP, I plan to use some of the parameters (for example, applOperStatus) from NETWORK-SERVICES-MIB.txt (rfc 2788) and some (for example, mtaStoredVolume) from MTA-MIB.txt (rfc 2789). (1) MIB question: It looks like I must define a new MIB that will contain the desired parameters from both the above standard MIBs? Can you show me or point me to examples of how to do it the easiest way? (2) This question is related to table design : applTable (from NETWORK-SERVICES-MIB.txt). I need to monitor all instances (for example , application A instance#1, application A instance#2 and so on). Does that mean that the table would look something like: first row for application A instance #1 second row for application A instance #2 third row for application B instance #1 fourth row for application B instance # 2 ...... and so on ? Would there be problems in populationg the table since the number of instances per application type is not fixed? Finally, if you have developed something like that before, any ideas/pointers/help/suggestions (MIB design/usage, designing/deploying sub-agents (using AgentX) to handle this particular situation, which samples/tutorials I can refer to if any, and so on) would be greatly appreciated.
