How to generate an standalone?

in Agent Toolkit Java Edition • 10 years ago

Hi!

I created an agent and its respective MIB SNMPv2 using the Agent Toolkit Java and instrumented the code.

I can compile and run with Mib Compiler and test using the Mib Browser.

But what I can not understand is how to create a standalone. I would like to create an application, maybe a jar file, that has everything you need to run on machines that do not have the Agent Toolkit installed.

I also would like to understand how to run and pass commands to this standalone and if it would only work via command line or if the Toolkit generates some kind of GUI.

Also wanted to know if I can integrate the generated code to a project using Netbeans or Eclipse and how to do it.

Hi,

Greetings.

Thank you for having interest in WebNMS Agent ToolKit Java Edition.

When an SNMP agent is generated, the code for the Agent is generated under <ATK_HOME>/JavaAgent/snmpProjects/<ProjectName>/agent/src/ directory.

If your requirement is to package the agent then please refer the below given link for packaging the Agent.
http://www.webnms.com/javaagent/help/snmp_agent/snmp/j_snmp_packagent.html

After generating the source files using MibCompiler tool, you can use the agent with any IDE(Eclipse, Netbeans).

Please follow the below steps to use the IDE for the project developed using Agent ToolKit.

1. First generate the project using WebNMS Agent ToolKit Java Edition i.e, using MibCompiler by loading the required MIB and generate the source.

2. Open the IDE and create a new project and copy all the source in to this project. Source files will be present under <ATK_HOME>/JavaAgent/snmpProjects/<projectName>/agent/src directory.

3. Along with the source files, please copy the configuration files also to the project's path.The configuration files are present in the directory <ATK_HOME/SnmpProjects/<projectname>/agent/bin/conf>. The configuration files should be added to the IDE's working directory to change the agentDir of WebNMSSNMPAgent.java from '.' to the conf files directory's location.

Eg: public static String agentDir = ".";

to public static String agentDir = "<Conf file's directory>";

4. Set the AdventNet jars in CLASSPATH. The required jars are present under <ATK_HOME>/JavaAgent/jars folder and list are
     i) AdventNetSnmp.jar
    ii) AdeventNetAgentUtilities.jar
   iii) AdventNetSnmpAgent.jar
   iv) AdventNetLogging.jar
    v) AdventNetAgentRuntimeUtilities.jar
   vi) Crimson.jar
vii) xalan.jar
viii) jaxp.jar

5. After doing all the above you can compile and start the Agent.

The main file required for the agent is src/com/myCompany/myPcakage/WebNMSSnmpAgent.java

Trust the information provided is helpful. Please mail us @ agent-support@webnms.com for further clarifications.

Thanks & Regards,
Sumathi.G
