Simple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP) monitoring can
be enabled for your IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® XC10 Appliance.
You can download the management information bases (MIBs) provided
on the appliance to specify the SNMP data available to the SNMP client.
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
SNMP monitoring is not enabled for
IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance by
default. The SNMP settings are unique to the appliance and do not
get propagated among the other appliances in the collective.
Procedure
- Navigate to the Monitoring panel. In the IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance user interface, click .
- Select the check box to enable SNMP monitoring. If
you want to disable SNMP monitoring, clear the check box.
- Download the Management Information Base (MIB) files that
are available on the appliance.
The Enterprise MIB files
describe what functions and data are available from the embedded SNMP
agent so that your client can appropriately access them. The client
can issue SNMP GET, GET-NEXT and GET-BULK commands.
You can download the MIB files and import them into your client to
access data beyond the base MIB-II data definitions. Expand Enterprise
MIBs, and click the name of each MIB to download the MIB
from the appliance.
- Statistics MIB
- The Statistics MIB includes information that is similar to the
statistics that you can see with the user interface monitoring
functionality. The MIB also includes Java™ virtual
machine (JVM) statistics.
- HW Status MIB
- The HW status MIB includes information about the state of the
hardware, including temperatures, date and time, and so on.
HW Notifications MIB
The HW Notifications MIB is used to define
the information available for SNMP TRAP commands.
Results
After completing these steps, you have enabled SNMP monitoring
for your appliance and downloaded the MIB data for your SNMP client.
What to do next
Use your SNMP client to view the MIB data.
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 statistics gridStats
table, mapStats table, or jvmStats table is a subset of the total
value that is reported in the user interface.
