Using the SNMP agent

The SNMP agent installed with the WebSphere InterChange Server allows an internal SNMP manager to monitor and perform limited management of InterChange Servers, collaborations, and connectors, based on a MIB (Management Information Base).

Note:
The SNMP agent is compatible with only version-1 and version-2 SNMP managers.

The SNMP agent allows multiple InterChange Servers in an enterprise to be managed from a single agent. Conversely, several SNMP agents can manage one InterChange Server.

Note:
WebSphere InterChange Server does not provide protection against multiple management clients (such as System Monitor, Process Designer, or SNMP agent instances) that may be performing simultaneous management of the same component. As a result, it is possible for several clients to manage the same component and cause conflicting behavior. Use the SNMP agent with caution when other management clients are operating on the same InterChange Server.
