Hi Ray Case,

Greetings!!!

Thank you for your interest in our product.

Hope you are using  SNMP Agent Toolkit Java Version 6.0 with service pack 2. For disabling of logging you can follow either any one of the three options given below.

1)By default agent will be running with debug level as 3.If you make the debug level as 0 then no logs will be generated.For this while starting the agent you can specify the debug level as 0 then no logs will get generated.

   i.e start the agent with -d 0 option
    
       run.bat -d 0

2)You can change the debug level in configuration files of the agent also i.e in <Projectname>Startup.xml present in the below directory(by default)

         <ATK_Home/snmpprojects/projectname/agent/bin/conf/<Projectname>Startup.xml

Here in this file by default debugLevel="3" will be present you can change it to debugLevel="0" .

3)You can also disable the logging by adding a line of code in the main file AdventNetSnmpAgent.java(By Default) of the agent .

For Ex:
         public static void main(String[] args){
                com.adventnet.utilities.logging.LogFactory.setLoggingLevel(0);
                AdventNetSnmpAgent agent_sim = new AdventNetSnmpAgent (args);
        }

Actually, the traps appear to be causing most of the messages and the LogFactory.setLoggingLevel(0); does not appear to change the logging level of these messages.

i just realized that our SnmpAgent extending code has:

I used method 3, but I had to create a class to do the ' com.adventnet.utilities.logging.LogFactory.setLoggingLevel(0); ' call because we are using Spring and Spring instantiates our Agent. Unfortunately, I still get the following and a continuation of the logging I am trying to prevent:

Thanks for your help, Jyothi.  I have not been able to get any of the methods you specified to suppress these messages.  I did however stumble across a solution:

Hi RayCase,

Greetings!!!

The above mentioned three options works only if you are using Agent Toolkt Java Edition 6.0 with Service Pack 2 . If you are using only 6.0 this will not work as this is fixed in service Pack 2.0 .

If you opt the third option i.e adding the below line of code please add the line before instantiating the Agent instance.

 com.adventnet.utilities.logging.LogFactory.setLoggingLevel(0);
 
If you are using the Service Pack 2 you can go for the first two options instead of using the third option.If you have already  generated the agent using 6.0 and at runtime and if you are replacing the SP2 jars then you can opt for the third option as configuring in xml file will not work .

We have released a new version of our toolkit i.e WebNMS Agent Toolkit Java Edition 6.0.3 .If you are not using SP2(Service Pack 2.0) and needs to disable the logging please download the new version of our product from the below link and use any one of the first two options to disable logging .

As a follow up, the last agent to start is able to work correctly when using a different IP address, however all requests going to the other two time out.

Hi,

Multiple instances of same agent(developed using our product) can be run in single JVM, binding to different ports and same IP or different virtual IP and same/different port. Please refer the help document here for more details.

To troubleshoot your issue, follow the steps given below,

1) First run the /sbin/ifconfig in case of linux  or ipconfig /all in case of windows and check the IP address you are trying to bind is available.
2) run netstat -anp command to check the port availability. if port is free, start the agent with debug level 6, this can be configured in configuration file. Try to give a delay of ~4 seconds between each instance creation.
3) run netstat -anp again after starting the agent, to check whether agent has successfully bound on it or not.
4) run ethreal/wireshark to capture SNMP packets coming into the agent running machine and check the host and port in the request packets.
5) check the logs for any requests.

Hope the information provided is helpful. Meanwhile could you explain your need/requirement for running multiple instances of same agent in single JVM.

Hi,

If your requirement is to test the SNMP Manager application, I would suggest you to go for Simulation Toolkit product, a product to address this kind needs from us.
 
"Simulation Toolkit is a complete device simulation and network simulation software for testing and demonstration of NMS/EMS in multiple operating systems, with support for SNMP, TFTP, FTP, Telnet, Cisco IOS and TL1 and with scalability up to 100,000+ SNMP devices."

This product can be downloaded from here and for more information refer the product website at http://www.webnms.com/simulator/index.html.

Hope the help documentation also will be much useful for you.

Hi nsteffan,

This is Kudi from 'Simulation Toolkit' technical support team.

Using the product 'Simulation Toolkit', just by giving the MIBs (and their dependent MIBs), the device can be created in few seconds. And the network of such device also can be created in few seconds.
In Windows OS, 10,000 SNMP devices are supported. In Linux OS, 100,000+ devices are supported with improved performance.

The SNMP node values (scalar / tabular rows) can be added/edited in a easy way for a single device or a group of devices in a single shot (Bulk Modification). This feature is available both in GUI and through runtime (jython scripting).

And simulation types  Constant/Random/Linear/Exponential/Cosine wave and Sine wave for SNMP nodes are available. This is an advantage over a real agent, in real agent some scenario (say exponential) may occur only after 10 days. But this can be simulated in few minutes.
