Agent Mode on UNIX

Under UNIX, the AE SNMP Subagent can run as Masteragent or Subagent.

Specify the mode in the INI-file parameter role= (section [SNMP]).

Masteragent (Recommended)

Advantages:

Disadvantages:

You can specify the same parameters in the file ucsnmp1.conf as in the net-SNMP agentA program that enables the de-centralized execution of processes (such as deployments) on target systems (computers or business solutions) or a service that provides connectivity to a target system (such as for databases or middleware). An agent is also an object type in the Automation Engine. [Formerly called "Executor."] See also: host's configurationA set of constituent components that make up a system. This includes information on how the components are connected including the settings applied. file (snmpd.conf).

The AE SNMP Subagent uses the following parameters:

An explanation of the individual parameters is available in the description of the snmp.conf provided by net-SNMP.

Example for the file ucsnmp1.conf:

trapsink host1 trapsink host2 rocommunity public master agentx

In Masteragent mode, no other Subagents can establish a connection to the SNMP Subagent.

Subagent

The AE SNMP Subagent cooperates with an existing Masteragent:

Example for the file ucsnmp1.conf:

trapsink              local
rocommunity    public

HP-UX 

The AE SNMP Subagent must operate on HP UX in Masteragent mode. The native Masteragent for the HP-UX system is EMANATE. The AE SNMP Subagent uses the naaagt interface to communicate to it. The naaagt interface serves as SNMP ProxySeparate Automic product that can be used as an additional service program in combination with the Automation Engine. Combines and reroutes CP connections.. It redirects SNMP queries to a different UDP port via a registeredThis is the status of a task that runs within a group and is waiting for its start. OID. By default, the naaagt uses port 8161. Thus, the AE SNMP Subagent uses a different port.

Further information about configuring the interface is provided in the naaagt documentation.
