Modifying SNMP agent parameters

Some SNMP agent initialization parameters can be modified while the agent is executing using the MVS™ MODIFY command. The MODIFY command can also be used to display the current level of SNMP agent tracing.

Parameters

snmp_agent_jobname
The SNMP agent being used.
INTERVAL
Specifies an integer in the range 0–10 that indicates the maximum number of minutes before committed configuration changes to the SNMPD.CONF file will be written out. A value of 0 means that the changes will be written out at the time the SNMP SET request is committed.
TRACE
Indicates SNMP agent tracing is to be queried or changed.
LEVEL
Specifies an integer in the range 0–255 that indicates the level of agent tracing. This corresponds to the -d parameter at agent initialization. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for additional guidance on setting the trace level.
QUERY
Requests that the current level of SNMP agent tracing be displayed.
