In most cases, MIB information is used at compile time for agents.
That is, you generate stub code from the MIB modules and then
you instrument it (= filling in the code that actually gets the
information). You can do this for AGENT++ with AgenPro (see
http://www.agentpp.com/agen/agen.html).

Yes, you can write your own MIB module. If you or your enterprise
do not have a enterprise ID yet, you can get one from IANA.
Below that root OID you may then define your own objects.

You have to instantiate the classes each time, but the content
is/can be loaded automatically from disk by AGENT++. See
Mib::save_all() and Mib:init() for details.
