Module: IBM-AIX-MIB
OID (symbolic): IBM-AIX-MIB::aixAgentAction

Description: This variable is used to trigger an action on the agent itself . 5 (running) is the normal state. When set, this variable triggers the agent to do the following:
reset - flush cache, flush MIB, re-read configuration file. debugOn - turns on debugging functionality in the agent debugOff- turns off debugging functionality in the agent shutdown- shutdown the agent running - the normal state.
What is aixAgentAction?
Lets an admin remotely trigger a lifecycle action on the AIX SNMP subagent itself: reset flushes its cache and MIB and re-reads its configuration file, debugOn/debugOff toggle agent debug logging, shutdown stops the agent, and running(5) is the normal steady state it reports otherwise.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.1 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> IBM-AIX-MIB::aixAgentAction
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.1.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> IBM-AIX-MIB::aixAgentAction.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.191.1.1.1.1 i <value>
