Re: can luasnmp be used to write an agent?

Oh, here's a sample output from my simple decoder serving as an "snmp tunnel":

Hm, can any of this be tied in with the host scripting system? I have no

LuaSNMP is a binding to the net-snmp client library and does not provide
any functionality to program an agent.

A good idea though - I'm also thinking about this.

I don't know enough about snmp to see from the docs whether luasnmp is
the right tool for me. I would like to publish snmp information from an
app written in lua, I think this means being an "agent".

Can I do this with luasnmp, http://luasnmp.luaforge.net/, or is it
just for writing managers that interact with existing agents?

Thanks
