Extensibility

Extensions to the AGENT++ API can be done in many ways. This includes supporting new versions of SNMP (e.g. version 3) and their administrative framework, base classes for additional types of managed objects, and adding new features. Through C++ class derivation, users of AGENT++ can inherit what they like and override what they wish to overload:

• A key concept of AGENT++ is the sub-classing of managed object base classes by the user. The user overrides virtual member functions of these base classes when she or he needs a specialisation to the default behaviour of the respective class member function.
