On most current distributions I've looked at there is no need for a recompile. There is a Redbook, currently still in draft, that does a good job of describing the monitor data interface. See Chapter 12 of http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/sg246695.html?Open
Performance Toolkit supports both the RMFPMS interface and the new kernel appldata interface. I don't recall seeing a requirement for the SNMP. But if folks are interested, let us know. If there is enough interest, we would consider it.
