Working with the osasnmpd subagent

7.1 LPAR mode z/VM guest

Working with the osasnmpd subagent includes starting it, checking the log file, issuing queries, and stopping the subagent.

Starting the osasnmpd subagent
Use the osasnmpd command to start the osasnmpd subagent.
Checking the log file
Warnings and messages are written to the log file of either the master agent or the OSA-Express subagent. It is good practice to check these files at regular intervals.
Issuing queries
You can issue queries against your SNMP setup.
Stopping osasnmpd
The subagent can be stopped by sending either a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal to the thread.
