Monitoring with Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP)

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.
