Manage via snmp

[Mahesh Acharya]

A customer has around 10 linux (fedora) boxes which needs to be monitored for system resources.
These systems already have a vendor snmp agent configured to manage the vendor application.
Can I install net-snmp agent to monitor the system resources without any impact to the existing snmp agent?
Can more than one snmp agent co-exist on the same system? I understand there would be clash in the ports for snmp get/put/walks. Assuming if my snmp agent is configured only to send traps ???

Shalom,

No you will not achieve good results trying to run two snmp agents at the same time on fedora.

Try and craft a solution that uses one or the other, perhaps add MIBS to the one you have.

Problem is that the systems are in production and moreover the snmp agents are the one provided by the application vendor.
The vendor may not agree to tamper his agent.
