[AGENT++] Persistent storage of AGENT++ configuration

[Alex Agranov]

Hi,

I think that I'm making some progress with the persistent storage of MIB data, but I still have some issues with it. I created a small class that inherits from MibEntry and it registers for notification from all persistent entries in my MIB. When it receives notification - it calls mib->save_all() - thus updating the persistent copy on disk.

Up until this point everything works nicely: when I add a new entry e.g. in snmpNotifyTable - change_notification() method of my MibEntry class instance is called and it saves all new MIB data to disk. I checked snmpNotificationMIB. file on disk - and although it's in binary format, it clearly contains my new entry. So far so good! :)

Now comes the part that doesn't work for me - when I restart my application, it calls mib->init() which is supposed to load all persistent MIB objects from disk. In fact in DEBUG logs I see that it does that:

20080424.09:17:00: 14860: (4)DEBUG  : MibTable: deserialize: reading table (table)(size): (1.3.6.1.6.3.12.1.3.1), (0)
20080424.09:17:00: 14860: (4)DEBUG  : MibTable: deserialize: reading table (table)(size): (1.3.6.1.6.3.13.1.1.1), (92)
20080424.09:17:00: 14860: (4)EVENT  : MibTable: deserialize: loading row (table)(index)(bytes remaining): (1.3.6.1.6.3.13.1.1.1), (69.77.83), (0)

It seems to work - because when I call save_all() immediately afterwards - the snmpNotificationMIB. file that is created on disk has the same data as before (including data of my previously created entry). However when I try to get data from the snmpNotifyTable via SNMP interface - the table is empty.

What am I doing wrong this time? :)

Thank you in advance,
