Hi,

Isnt it unsafe to share SNMP Information (like community) throughout domains, once normally community for the version 1 of SNMP is the only authentication for SNMP? may you give this option on your implementation to user?

I have the following doubt: if you have a schema for SNMP, so a ma-rrd can only implement this schema instead of implementing Utilization, Errors and Discards?

Or any ma needs to implement all this schemas?


The schemas can be used together or separately. The RRD MA currently implements characteristic schemas (util/errors/discs) only while the SNMP MA implements the tool and characteristic namespaces together. There is no requirement for an MA to offer all of these, the choice is up to the service provider.

For a schema point of view I fully agree.
For a consistency point of view amongst provider that wishes to work
together, there must be a an agreement on a common namespace amongst
everybody otherwise, the whole exercise of perfSONAR is useless.
Note that this doesn't prevent to implement additional namespace.

Cheers,
