What are the basic steps involved in developing an agent to manage a device/application?
The basic steps involved in developing an agent are as follows: • Define the MIB/ TCS file using MIB Editor/ TL1 Message Builder. • Load the defined MIB/ TCS file or an existing MIB/ TCS file to the agent stub generator, such as MIB Compiler/ JMX Compiler/ TL1 Compiler. • Generate source files by choosing the appropriate options in the compiler. This constitutes the stub files of the agent. • Instrument the agent. • Compile stub files . • Deploy the agent to manage your device/application.
