How do I use AgentX++'s subagent example with snmpd (UCD-SNMPimplementation)?

[Frank Fock]

Hi Betty,

if you run both agents under root, you most likely have not
to care about permissions. So, everything seems to be fine.

You can disable the logging/trace output by changing the
logging level to 0 for all logging types in the subagent.cpp
file:

#ifndef _NO_LOGGING
	DefaultLog::log()->set_filter(ERROR_LOG, 0);
	DefaultLog::log()->set_filter(WARNING_LOG, 0);
	DefaultLog::log()->set_filter(EVENT_LOG, 0);
	DefaultLog::log()->set_filter(INFO_LOG, 0);
	DefaultLog::log()->set_filter(DEBUG_LOG, 0);
#endif

(Another approach for production systems is to disable
logging at all be defining _NO_LOGGING in agent++.h. This
significantly increases speed and reduces code size)

Best regards,
Frank
