Multi thread of Agent providing with virtual IP

Multi thread of Agent providing with virtual IP

in Agent Toolkit Java Edition • 14 years ago

We're making some agent simulator to make intentional heavy load of SNMP message to find out if our SNMP manager can afford to these message.

We made SNMP agent by using SNMP agent toolkit and make them as threads so that these thread should act like the stand-alone agent by binding virtual ip in one linux machine.

As what I found in the generated code, the AdventnetSnmpAgent class looks like thread-safe.

So we generated threads about 500 instances (as I know, once main class instantiated the agent class, agent construnct code will run as thread)

But All of thread could not run and initialized successfully.

Moreover, SnmpAgentInitializer is the class having its most member method as static which is called in init() method defined in AdventnetSnmpAgent Code.

My question are below.

1. The generated code e.g AdventnetSnmpAgent is multi-threadable?

2. If so, Is there any retriction to initiate a number of SnmpAgent instance at the same time, like must give some delay within each instantiation procedure.

3. If AdventNetSnmpAgent is multi-threadable, Each thread instance will run without any interference with other thread. that means each agent thread act like independent agent application. (actually that is what we exactly want)

Please check it out and let me know the answer ASAP

Thanks.

Hi,

Please refer the answers for your questions.

1) Yes, the generated code(AdventNetSnmpAgent.java) is multi-threadable.

2) There is no restriction to initiate a number of SnmpAgent instance at the same time, but it takes some time to get initialized. So time delay should be given in between instantiations of agent instances.

3) Each SnmpAgent instance acts as an individual agent, binding on different host/port and runs in separate threads, but these instances share the same configuration files, data and returns the same output.

Note: If you are developing multiple agents then runtime cost will be charged for each agent.

If you are requirement is to simulate multiple agents, then one of our product WebNMS Simulation Toolkit could better suit your requirement. We recommend you to try Simulation Toolkit product.

Please have a look at the documentation for the WebNMS Simulation Toolkit given in the below link.
