RE: Creating your own agent

[Stephen.Zhou@Intelsat.com]

We wanted to have the application be its own agent so that we wouldn't need
to run a separate master agent on the box.  Is it possible to implement an
agent using the UCD-SNMP library?

I suggest you strongly consider making this an AgentX subagent, rather
than talking SNMP directly.  (Or at the very least, as well).

That would make it *much* easier to integrate your server with an existing
SNMP environment.
