You can start or stop the IBM® WebSphere® Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Capability and view the performance metrics.
Before you access the IBM WebSphere SNMP Capability, you must first have installed, configured and enabled it. Read the "Installing and configuring the IBM WebSphere SNMP Capability" and the "Enabling security for the IBM WebSphere SNMP Capability" topics for more information.
Start the IBM WebSphere Snmp Agent to communicate with SNMP monitoring software. You can stop the WebSphere Snmp Agent to modify the configuration in the event any errors occur. Some tasks require that you restart the WebSphere Snmp Agent for any changes to take affect.
Once you have started the IBM WebSphere Snmp Agent you can then view the metrics.
Type of table to retrieve | OIDs |
---|---|
CollectionTable | SNMP GETNEXT (1.3.6.1.4.1.1977.22.10.10.1.2:Null) |
ControlTable | SNMP GETNEXT 1.3.6.1.4.1.1977.22.10.11.1.2:Null, |
CounterTable | SNMP GETNEXT(1.3.6.1.4.1.1977.22.10.12.1.2:Null) |
DataTable | SNMP GETNEXT(1.3.6.1.4.1.1977.22.10.13.1.1:Null, |
trapDestinations | SNMP GETNEXT(1.3.6.1.2.1.16.19.13.1.2:Null) |
Interpretation of table data:
WsControlIndex – same as the one in Counter Table
WsCounterIndex – the Index column of Counter Table
WsCollectionIndex – indexes into the Collection Table to indicate which Mbean the attribute belongs to
Traps can be viewed in the SNMP monitoring software. If the connection between the IBM WebSphere Snmp Agent and the SNMP monitoring software is established, you can also retrieve or alter the traps destination information. Most SNMP monitoring utilities are capable of acting as a trap destination listener and can also display trap destinations.
