Installing SNMP in Red Hat
Managed data is accessible in ColdFusion Server 5 Enterprise Edition through the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base
(MIB) for Application Management features. You can integrate this information with
third-party system management tools. These tools let you manage diverse
components of your enterprise from a management station in your network.
If you want to use ColdFusion Server MIB features, you must install SNMP before
installing ColdFusion Server. For instructions, see the following procedures.
Tip
To find the version of SNMP that you are currently running, enter snmpd -v.
