Introduction to SCF for the SNMP Agent
SNMP Configuration and Management Manual — 424777-006

PROCESS Object States
The associated PROCESS object is named $ZSNMP.
The syntax for specifying a PROCESS object in SCF commands:
Wildcard Support: PROCESS Object
The use of the asterisk (*) as a wildcard is not supported for the PROCESS object.
PROCESS Object States
The PROCESS object is always reported as being in the STARTED state in response
to a STATUS command. If the NonStop agent process is not running, SCF returns an
Expecting an existing SCF supported object name error.
Figure 4-4 illustrates the state transition sequence for the PROCESS object.
PROCESS Object Attributes
EMSCOLL is the only attribute supported for the PROCESS object. EMSCOLL
specifies the EMS collector process to which the NonStop agent is to send events it
generates. For more detail about this attribute, see the
ALTER Command on
page 5-13.
Default PROCESS Object
When you initially start the NonStop agent process, the following PROCESS object is
automatically configured and started:
PROCESS $ZSNMP, EMSCOLL $0
Note. For information on NonStop agent process startup parameters, see the Section 2,
Installing and Configuring the SNMP Agent .
command PROCESS $agent-process
Note. The PROCESS object enters the STARTING state while the NonStop agent process is
performing its initialization tasks. This state is reported in event messages for the PROCESS
object, but is never displayed in response to an SCF STATUS command.
Note. This and all other examples assume that the NonStop agent process was started as
$ZSNMP. For a description of the TACL RUN command syntax for starting a NonStop agent
process (see
RUN Command on page 2-7).
