There are a variety of things I'd like to do with tkined:
adding mibs, enhancing discovery options, and enhancing monitoring
options. However, although I understand bits and pieces, I can't seem
to understand how the bits and pieces work together.
Unfortunately, all the documentation I've been able to find is either
(a) about the tkined user interface or (b) about scotty. I'm not
enough of a tcl guru to understand what's legal and not legal in
init.tcl (which limits me to "cookbook" approaches).
For example, just now I tried to put a "mib load hpnp.mib" into
site/init.tcl, and it didn't work (unrecognized command mib). So, I
put a "package require Tnm 2.1" into the init.tcl and that didn't work
either (unrecognized command package).
It seems to me that tkined should be implemented along the lines of
scotty-2.1.5/tnm/examples/mibtree instead of as a C executable --
there's a lot of scotty functionality that would be exposed this way.
I don't see the advantage of the current implementation. [Nor do I
understand enough of the structure to implement this myself.]
And, please don't just tell me how to load mibs -- for example, I'd
like start adding data sieves so that discovery and monitor can better
dredge for information. ["data sieve" -- a collection of if/then/else
queries aimed at populating a table of data.]
Can some one please hold my hand here, and help me out?
Thank you very much,
