C WebLogic SNMP Agent
Command-Line
Reference
WebLogic Server can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to
communicate with enterprise-wide management systems. The WebLogic Server
subsystem that gathers WebLogic management data, converts it to SNMP
communication modules (trap notifications), and forwards the trap notifications to
third-party SNMP management systems is called the WebLogic SNMP agent. The
WebLogic SNMP agent runs on the Administration Server and collects information
from all Managed Servers within a domain.
The WebLogic SNMP agent provides a command-line interface that enables you to:
n Retrieve the value of WebLogic Server attributes that are exposed as managed
objects in the WebLogic Server MIB.
n Generate and receive WebLogic Server traps.
The following sections describe working with the WebLogic SNMP agent through its
command-line interface:
n “Required Environment and Syntax for the SNMP Command-Line Interface” on
page -46
n “Commands for Retrieving the Value of WebLogic Server Attributes” on page
-48
