Mobile agents are small programs that can transport their code, data and execution context from one machine to another and be capable of continuing execution in the new environment. This technology has a lot of advantages and promising applications, unfortunately there is a noticeable absence of deployed solutions. There are few reasons of this situation but one of the most important is the lack of tools that can be used for the configuration management of mobile agents. This process focuses on the monitoring and controlling configuration items and is essential for other processes like incident management or availability management. In this paper a new, flexible and universal solution for the configuration management of mobile agents is proposed. This solution is based on well known and widely used management standard - SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
