Reading the generated text files

in Agent Toolkit C Edition • 12 years ago

Hi,

I am using Agent Toolkit C Edition for the first time. I am facing an issue and it will be very kind if anyone can help me out with it.

I have created the Agent and also the MIB. After generating the code and implementing and starting the Agent, when i do a GET-REQUEST from the MIB-Browser, i get the correct value in response. But after that if I make any change to the object value in the generated text files, and then do a GET-REQUEST it gives me the previous value and not the updated value.

However, if I stop the Agent and start it once again, it returns the updated and the new value. The problem is for it to read the latest value from the Agent or to read a data of dynamic nature as in Sensors, I cannot keep re-starting the Agent.

Can anyone tell me what is the solution for this problem.

Thank You
Hussain

Dear Hussain,

In WebNMS(formerly AdventNet) SNMP Agent Toolkit C Edition 6.3.0, once the agent is started the values in the generated text files will be read and loaded in the global vector.

When you perform SNMP GETREQUEST, the agent will process the request and fetch the respective node value from global vector. Once the requested operation is successful the response will be sent to the manager.

To update the value during run time the SNMP SET OPERATION should be performed. The SET OPERATION will update the new value in global vector and also in corresponding text file.

Any manual changes in text file or any other method to change the value will be reflected only when the agent gets restarted.

Hope this helps to solve your query.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Hussain,

    In WebNMS(formally AdventNet ) SNMP Agent Toolkit C Edition 6.3.0, once the agent is started, the value of the generated text file will be read and loaded in the global vector.

    When SNMP GETREQUEST operation is performed, the agent will process the request and requested node value will taken from the global vector. If the request is successful, the response is sent to the manager from agent.

    The value of the node can be updated or modified only by SNMP SET OPERATION during runtime. SET OPERATION will update the value in global vector and also in the respective text file.

     Any manual change in the generated text file or any other method to change the value of node will be reflected only after the agent is restarted.

    Hope this helps to solve your query,

Thanks & Regards,
