Integrating with the HP-UX SNMP agent
WLM provides integration with the HP-UX SNMP agent through the
WLM SNMP Toolkit (SNMPTK). This toolkit is part of the freely
available WLM Toolkits, or WLMTK.
SNMPTK provides a WLM data collector called snmpdc, which fetches
values from an SNMP agent so you can use them as metrics in your
WLM configuration.
Why use SNMPTK?
SNMPTK allows easy access to SNMP agent metrics that you can use in
your WLM configuration to:
• Drive SLO goals
• Set up shares-per-metric allocations
• Enable and disable SLOs
Sources of metrics include:
• PRM data, available starting at the OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.5.4.2.1
(hp.hpSysMgt.hpUXSysMgt.hpPRM.prmReadOnly)
Tools in SNMPTK
SNMPTK provides the snmpdc data collector for pulling data from the
SNMP agent.
How do I get started with SNMPTK?
To get ideas on how to implement SNMPTK in your environment, look at
the example configuration files that come with SNMPTK. These files are
in /opt/wlm/toolkits/snmp/config/.
