Important notes.
- This implementation is actually a system independent template. It means that the question "Where and how may I collect the monitored statistics ?" is taken out from the scope. Actually, it is emulated with random values. You are free to rewrite the function 'get_history_data' for your system. Don't forget also to insert DataSourse checking in 'history_Validate' function. (Both functions are in the file history.c).
- This implementation has two RMON mib understanding extensions
(I hope it does not break anything; nevertheless you may use
it in completely standard way).
2.1. I permit to set VALID entryStatus when entry doesn't exit;
in this case PDU has to have the necessary & valid set of non-default values
2.2. I permit to travel from VALID to 'UNDER_CREATION' state:
these ways a manager can change control entry and validate it once more.
THANKS
Mr. Michael J. Slifcak of Internet Security Systems, Inc has provided a number of remarks, I implemented ALL of them.
