Ha! I've never seen that article, thanks for pointing it out. Note that the performance of Net-SNMP's extensibility mechanisms should way into the decision. The fastest backend needs to be written in C, and embedded perl is an easy second. Beyond that, pass_persist is somewhere in the middle and pass/extend/other execs are the slowest because of the need to exec a command for every incoming request which is expensive. Great for bootstrapping and testing, but in the long run look to the better coding solutions. Tutorials for most of these exist: http://www.net-snmp.org/wiki/index.php/Tutorials#Coding_Tutorials [as a point of history: Net-SNMP has always been very extensible since it was started based on my need to add extensibility to an agent way back in 1995-ish in order to monitor some special cases on a map with HP OV (as it was known back then)] -- Wes Hardaker My Pictures: http://capturedonearth.com/ My Thoughts: http://blog.capturedonearth.com/
