One approach to the development of custom SNMP agents and integration with management systems
This paper presents an approach to the development of custom agents and their integration with network management systems. For the development of agents is given one approach, and according to this approach an implementation of the agent using Open Dynamic Management Kit (OpenDMK) libraries in the Java programming language is performed. Within the agents are implemented all standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) functionality - reading values, setting values and traps sending. Finally, the integration is performed with several network management systems such as Zenoss and Cacti. Tests have confirmed the success of this integration, thus verifying the proposed approach.
