damsnmpdaud is SNMP Data Analyser and it is a part of Operation Manager. It also performs the function of SNMP Data Interface. It is a daemon process which works all the time the system is running and it expects items of SNMP Data type. Data collected in the system are sent to damsnmpdaud and it tries to find these values which are out of a window of average values for that particular data and then it forwards them. A typical receiver of processed items is Associations Database.

damsnmpdaud reads its configuration file .damsnmpdaudrc during its startup. The program expects to find the configuration file in the directory /etc/david-system. damsnmpdaud daemon won't be run if it can't read its configuration file.

Next, damsnmdaud reads the file with defined minimum levels. If the levels are exceeded, notifications will be sent to Associations Database.
