I have been instructed to set up SNMP on informix 11.7 FC 5 runing on an IBM p595 running AIX 6.1 . I can get the sub agents up and running, but there is already the snmpdv3ne master agent running on the host. Is OnSnmp compatible with this master agent, and if so how do I get them talking. Regards Mark

Hi Mark, I already try before do the onsnmp "talk" with the Master Agent on Linux... without success. I discover they need be 100% compatible to work (vendor , version, etc). Last week I need to active the snmp of our Informix (11.50) running on AIX 6.1 / 5.3 to collect information with zabbix and to avoid the incompatible configuration or further problems I choose use the Master Agent which incoming with Informix, using a differ port . If you don't desire this as main solution... consider as Plan B. Off course , the manager (who will access your Informix SNMP) need be prepared to use this port too. # INFORMIXSNMPPORT=5161 ./runsnmp.ksh start runsnmp.ksh FYI - Using INFORMIXDIR: /vulca/informix runsnmp.ksh FYI - Using INFORMIXSNMPPORT = 5161 runsnmp.ksh FYI - Setting SR_SNMP_TEST_PORT to 5161 runsnmp.ksh FYI - Setting SR_TRAP_TEST_PORT to 162 runsnmp.ksh FYI - Setting SR_AGT_CONF_DIR to /v/informix/snmp/snmpr SNMP Research EMANATE Agent Version 16.2.0.27 Copyright 1989-2007 SNMP Research, Inc. runsnmp.ksh FYI - The SNMP Research Inc. master agent (snmpdm) started (pid 13107646). runsnmp.ksh FYI - The server discovery daemon (onsrvapd) started (pid 13434922). I have the feeling this is the "best" (secure) way to work with the snmp on Informix because I already have experience of the sub agents go "crazy" and start to consume a lot of CPU if the instance become inaccessible (even a simple restart), then you need to restart them too to back the normal behave.
