SNMP On iSeries

Folks,

Has anyone brought up SNMP on the iSeries?  Specifically, what is involved
in setting up agents and sub agents on the iSeries side to report management
information to a package called Site Scope which is on a UNIX box here?  If
I have done a review of the literature correctly, the iSeries agents and
sub-agents conform to RFC 1592 which defines the Distributed Protocol
Interface.  This is further evidenced by looking at the iSeries SNMP API's.

I think I pretty much have the overall SNMP process/flow down, what I am
missing is the understanding of the pieces on the iSeries side to make this
happen.  I am not a C coder by a long shot, but I am willing to roll up my
sleeves!  :-)  What has to be in place on the iSeries side to report:

CPU Utilization
Disk Utilization
Connectivity (this can be a ping from Site Scope)
Services such as telnet, ftp, http servers, etc.

If I am barking up a tall tree, should I be considering a package?

Any and all input is greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Mike Shaw
