hi folks,
I'm looking for a toolkit to build a sub-agent which runs on both Windows
and Linux. Agent++ seems promising, but I have a few concerns here:
1. packages
On Windows the master agent would be the native Windows Agent, to build a
sub-agent, the following packages should be included, I guess,
- SNMP++
- Agent++
- AgentX++ (include Agent++ Win32), to build the sub-agent
- AgentPro ( optional ), to generate the frame work from a MIB
Is this list correct ? And AgentX++ and AgentPro are licensed in commercial
use ?
2. Compatibility
Is sub-agent built on AgentPP libraries compatible with native Windows SNMP
Agent? In principle, if it complies with AgentX protocol, it should. But
the Agent++ Win32 readme talks a lot about replacing native Windows SNMP
Agent with Agent++Win32 master agent, and running native agent and
Agent++Win32 Master in parallel. If native Windows SNMP Agent and
AgentPP-based sub-agent are compatible, why should one replace the native
one ? Is there any successful story of co-existing native Windows Agent and
AgentPP-based sub-agent ?
On Linux, if I want to deploy a AgentPP-based sub-agent, the master agent
should also be built on AgentPP or I can run another master agent like
net-snmp agent? ( net-snmp supports AgentX) Is there any successful story of
co-existing net-snmp master agent and AgentPP-based sub-agent ?
thanks in advance
