With Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) support,
you can monitor the status of a IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance as
a part of a larger group of systems in a data center. SNMP monitoring
enhances your ability to notice system issues quickly and then responding
to them promptly.
Before you begin
Configure an SNMP client before completing these steps.
These steps can be completed without an SNMP client configured, but
SNMP monitoring can only be used if a client has been configured.WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance supports
SNMP version 2vc.
About this task
Use the following steps to enable SNMP monitoring for your
IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance.
The SNMP settings are unique to the appliance and do not get propagated
among the other appliances in the collective.
Remember: Because
the SNMP statistics are provided for a single appliance, the reported
values are different from the values that are reported by the monitoring
panels in the user interface. The user interface reports data on the
collective. For example, a value in the SNMP gridStats table, mapStats
table, or jvmStats table reports a subset of the total value that
is reported in the user interface.
