Release Notes for Covalent SNMP Conductor.


The Covalent SNMP Conductor module needs to have a 'var' directory
as defined by the SNMPvar directive in the httpd.conf file. It also
needs read-write access to this directory.
Otherwise it cannot create a persistent file to allow restarts of the
Apache HTTP server.


The Covalent SNMP Conductor has a installation feature that starts and
stops the Apache Web server during the installation of the SNMP module.
In combination with faststart the installer checks to quickly for the
exit status of the 'start/stop' procedure. Although, an error message
is presented (message says: "An error occurred while adding the
SNMPv3 user: This may be caused by an already running webserver")
your installation  will be completed correctly.
Just make sure that indeed no other Apache processes were running.


The Covalent SNMP Conductor module requires that the 'MaxClients'
directive of Apache is placed after the 'LoadModule' and
'AddModule' of the SNMP module.
Otherwise, it cannot retrieve some Apache internal values and some
MIB modules would return incorrect information.


The following MIB modules are implemented by the SNMP agent.
1) Application specific MIB modules (IETF defined)
