HP OSMS white paper: How to Monitor JBoss v4.0.3 SP1 with HP SIM using SNMP

Figure 3 HP SIM Events Tab Example

Clicking on an event in the Event Type column causes a detailed description of the event to appear. For

instance, the following is the detailed information for the “Cold Start" event:

Figure 4 Cold Start Event Example

NOTE: The messages regarding incorrect MIB data are erroneous. Since there is not a MIB file defining

the OIDs sent by the agent, HP SIM has tried to use the default RFC1215 MIB. If a MIB file existed, it would

be registered with HP SIM and the OID would then be interpreted correctly.

Thirty minutes after the cold start a Link Up event (heartbeat) is sent by the SNMP agent to HP SIM. The

time period value for this event is set in the jboss-service.xml file with the HeartBeatPeriod

attribute. The log file for JBoss at /usr/local/jboss<version>/server/default/log/server.log

contains an entry similar to the following:
