Viewing the system group status

Viewing the system group status

The SNMP Agent Manager's main screen displays the current system group status. You can also display this information by using snmpstat(ADMN).

The following is an example of using snmpstat with the -s option to retrieve the system group. 

Example 10-13 snmpstat system group example

   # snmpstat -s paris public
   

System Group Description: SNMPD Version 3.0 for SCO UNIX ObjectID: SCO.1.0 UpTime: 1 hour, 1 minute, 40 seconds, 95 hundredths Contact: Trevor Jones x256 Name: paris.cities.mynet.com Location: First Floor Computer Room Services: applications, end-to-end

snmpstat takes care of formatting the information in a way that is easier to understand. For example, snmpstat converts the raw clock ticks of the agent uptime into hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths of a second.
