snmp proxy daemon help

[Jonathan Mills]

I have compiled and installed snmppd on my nagios systems.  I'd heard  
that using the snmp proxy daemon would help reduce snmp check times  
and loads on the servers being monitored.  We have been noticing very  
high CPU utilization on our NetApp filers every time nagios does an  
snmp check on them.  When we disable nagios checks on the filers, load  
decreases significantly.

However, we've seen no improvement by using snmppd thus far, which  
makes me question if perhaps I'm not using it the right way.  Other  
than installing it via rpm and starting the service, all I've done is  
symlink check_snmp to the new check_snmpp in my plugins directory.

Does anyone have more experience with this?

Yours truly,

J. Mills
