[SNMP4J] AGENT : registering new MoScalars after the agent was started

[Frank Fock]

Hi Matthieu,

It is impossible (and not wanted) in SNMP to synchronize data changes
on the agentside with the manager. Since there is no connection between
manager and agent and since the manager not necessarily request data
with a single request, you cannot make sure that your agent's data does
not change between two manager requests.

Consequently, the manager has to take care (i.e. check by lastChange
timestamps of the agent's data that can be requested along with the data)
that the data it retrieves is consistent.

Best regards,
Frank
