I am investigating if possible "know" that information is being stored there, and from what I see there is a command linux-fTools that could help me descubir the information being stored there, do not know if I bring in my analysis but it is my first step, I do not know if you have any other suggestions. grateful - Pablo On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 9:52 AM, Benjamin Coddington wrote: > Dear Pablo, > > Why are you restarting snmpd between flushing cache and reading > memory values?
