No, I tried to avoid that one at the start -- the file is called pgsnmpd.yaml (in honor of the agent, which is called, predictably and unpronounceably, pgsnmpd). Here are the command line options I've got right now; I'm not married to these specific options, and can change them to some other letter or option if it will make things work better:
usage: pgsnmpd [-s] [-b] [-c FILE ] [-x address ] [-g] [-C "Connect String"] -s : run as AgentX sub-agent of an existing snmpd process -b : run in the background -c : configuration file name -g : use syslog -C : libpq connect strings -Q : custom query configuration file -x : address:port of a network interface -V : display version strings Some of these I want to have passed through to net-snmp; others, such as -C and -Q, for instance, net-snmp should ignore. I guess this question extends to all command line options, then: how do I pass only a subset of the command line to net-snmp when calling init_snmp()? -- Joshua Tolley / eggyknap End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com On Sat, Oct 17, 2009 at 02:54:24AM -0400, Steve Stetka wrote: > I think snmp looks for a file called bla.conf where bla is the name of > your subagent...is this the name of your file u r reading into your custom > function?
