If this is the wrong place to ask let me know and I will post it
elsewhere or email it.
Basically I am asking for a SPEC file change on how the default net-snmp
rpm is built
Current SPEC file entry:
--with-mib-modules="host agentx smux"
Change to
--with-mib-modules="host agentx smux disman/event-mib"
This way I dont have to continually rebuild from SRPMs (ok that ones
selfish so how about because it includes some nice monitoring abilities)
>From man snmpd.conf
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB SUPPORT (READ: SENDING TRAPS ON ERRORS)
With a disclaimer:
Warning: this implementation has not been extensively tested and is
additionally not known to be entirely complete. The concepts defined
here should function appropriately, however, but no promises are made
at this time.

defaultMonitors yes
By default, the agent and the DISMAN-EVENT-MIB support do nothing until
configured. Typically people wish to watch a bunch of
tables within the UCD-SNMP-MIB which are designed specifically
for reporting problems. If the "defaultMonitors yes" line is
put into the snmpd.conf file (which must be accompanied by an
appropriate agentSecName line and a rouser line), the following
monitoring conditions will be installed:
monitor -o prNames -o prErrMessage "process table" prErrorFlag != 0
monitor -o memErrorName -o memSwapErrorMsg "memory" memSwapError != 0
monitor -o extNames -o extOutput "extTable" extResult != 0
monitor -o dskPath -o dskErrorMsg "dskTable" dskErrorFlag != 0
monitor -o laNames -o laErrMessage "laTable" laErrorFlag != 0
monitor -o fileName -o fileErrorMsg "fileTable" fileErrorFlag != 0
Along with other monitoring abilities like
monitor -u me -o sysUpTime.0 -o hrSWRunName "high process memory"
hrSWRunPerfMem > 10000
thanks,
Greg
