Hi,
  I got the replies bellow. I'm planning in buying the EMPIRE agent. It
gives me lots of information I can't get with any other agent.

On a Solaris with Openview. Openview uses it's own snmp and you can't use
any other snmp agent and it even stops the Solaris snmp agent. This box will
have /usr/sbin/snmpdm, SnmpCollect processes and three snmp agents
hp_unixagt, mib2agt, trapdestagt. You should be able to do a snmpwalk
between two machines running any snmp software abd by default it looks for
port 161.

I personally use ucd-snmp. It seems to work much better. I had problems
just getting mrtg to run...moved to ucd-snmp, and it worked very well.

According to the readme, you can find it:

I use the ucd-snmp agent on my 2.6 boxes. Works like a charm.

We use Empire Tech's http://www.empiretech.com snmp agent.
It's a very robust tool, with a tool of host monitoring capabilities.
It's a little on the expensive side, but we worth it if your monitoring
tons of machines on the backbone. If I recall, they provide 30 day trials
for the agent and the mib manager.

I'm surprised you didn't get any responses. I seem to remember people
talking about an Empire agent in the past. I have not used it so can't
comment, but try doing a web search on Empire and SNMP.
