Furthermore,
This
earlier mail i wrote was referring to net-snmp-5.2.1-2
When
using net-snmp-5.3, I set the environment variable MIBS to empty string,
and
the RAM usage droped from ~5 only to ~4.6, what's the deal
here?
How
can I iverify that no MIBs (text files) are parsed and
loaded?
Thanks,
Erez.

Subject: snmpd reduce memory usage
Hey,
While trying to
reduce snmpd memory usage,
and going over old
mailing-list items.
I think I understood
from one of them thatm initializing the snmp librarie, invokes parsing of MIB
text files, and loading them to memory.
I set MIBS
environment variable to empty string (instead of ALL),
and my master-agent
memory usage (RSS column in ps -A v), reduced from ~5MB to
2.6MB.
I find it a bit
confusing:
1) what exactly
doess the environment variable MIBS affect?
as I understand it it affect only the MIBs which
the snmp libraries will be initialized for, but it does not decide which MIBs
the snmpd loads. right?
1a) why in the firstplace are MIB text files parsed and loaded to the
memory of the snmpd? what use does it have for them?
2) what exactly do
these configure tokes affect: --with-mib-modules, --with-out-mib-modules
?
thanks,
Erez
