Agents and Objects File Format

Agents File format

The Agent IPaddress should be followed by the Agent name with atleast one whitespace character between them (i.e. tab,blank etc.). The file name must have a .snm extension. No comments or information apart from these is allowed, failing which the SNMPUI Bean will not be able to read in the information. As a default, the beans use the file provided in SNMPUI.jar.

e.g. A file "agents.snm" with data is shown below :

9.184.192.41 chethan.in.ibm.com
9.184.194.5 fusion.in.ibm.com

Objects File format

No comments or information apart from these is allowed, failing which the SNMPUI Bean will not be able to read in the information. As a default, the beans use the file provided in SNMPUI.jar.
