I want to implement a snmp-based network management software. I'm new to it and am a bit vague about some basic principles.
The work I want to achieve is this, the agent runs on linux, the management software runs on windows, and monitors the linux system equipment.
My problem is that I read a lot of information and know that the management software interacts with the agent through the snmp protocol, extracts the data of the mib library of the managed device and returns it to the management software (I don't know if I understand it correctly). The question is: then how do mib library information, such as network traffic, get such specific parameter values? I know that I need to access the mib library. A node in the mib library stores this specific value. But where is the data corresponding to the specific value of network traffic in the mib library, and how can it be obtained and updated? I think we should interact with the linux kernel, right? So who does this interactive work? Linux kernel itself, or a network management developer? |
