Hi,

 

I have a question regarding the monitoring of the native agent.

 

We have Siemen’s PCs that come with their own native agent. Using this agent we can monitor pc's hardware status including fan temperatures and fan speeds etc. If for example a fan for power supply fails, we need the manager be notified right away. However the native agent doesn't implement the trap for that.

 

Here is what I'm trying to do: create a master agent that takes the native agent as a subagent and keep reading  the fan data of the native agent from within the master, once the fan's failure is detected, send out the trap from the master. My questions are these:

 

1). Is this the right way to do things like this?

and more importantly,

2). If it is, which api functions should I use?

 

Thank you very much.
