The snmpXdmid utility is a subagent in the Solstice
Enterprise Agent Desktop Management Interface package. It maps the SNMP
requests forwarded by the Master Agent ( snmpdx(1M))
into one or more equivalent DMI requests. Further, it remaps the DMI response
into SNMP response back to snmpdx. By default, snmpXdmid also forwards the DMI indications as SNMP traps to snmpdx. The feature is configurable and can be disabled by setting
TRAP_FORWARD_TO_MAGENT=0 in the snmpXdmid
configuration file, snmpXdmid.conf.
This subagent runs as a daemon in the system. The subagent uses a
set of .MAP files located in /var/dmi/map to map the
SNMP Object Identifier (OID) into a corresponding DMI component. The map
files are generated using the MIF-to-MIB utility, miftomib.
They are read by snmpXdmid when a corresponding MIF file
gets registered with the DMI Service Provider ( dmispd(1M)).
The snmpXdmid.conf file is used for configuration
information. Each entry in the file consists of a keyword followed by an
equal sign (=), followed by a parameter string. The keyword must begin
in the first position. A line beginning with a pound sign (#) is treated
as a comment and the subsequent characters on that line are ignored. The
keywords currently supported are:
-
WARNING_TIMESTAMP
- Indication subscription expiration, warning time.
-
EXPIRATION_TIMESTAMP
- Indication subscription expiration timestamp.
-
FAILURE_THRESHOLD
- DMISP retries before dropping indication due to comm errors.
-
TRAP_FORWARD_TO_MAGENT
-
-
0
- Drop indication
at the subagent level.
- non-zero
- Forward indications as
SNMP traps to snmpdx.
By default, the configuration file snmpXdmid.conf
is located in the /etc/dmi/conf directory. You can specify
an alternative directory with the -c option.
