Hi Charles,

SNMP4J-Agent supports both approaches you listed
below. The different instrumentation techniques
are explained in the
SNMP4J-Agent-Instrumentation-HowTo.pdf
which can be downloaded as part of AgenPro 2
from http://www.agentpp.com/agenpro2.zip

To update MIB (cache) data in in your SNMP4J-Agent,
use the MOScalar.setValue or MOMutableTableRow.setValue
methods.

To update the MIB cache when a SNMP request is
being processed, use the MOServer.addLookupListener.

Best regards,
Frank
