Configuring the SNMP Data Collector
 
Creating and Defining the MIB Configuration File
The SNMP data collector for Infrastructure Data Collector monitors non-webMethods devices such as bridges, hubs, routers, or network servers that are accessible with Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agents.
Configuring the SNMP data collector is a three-step process:
1. Identify the devices to monitor.
Configure the SNMP data collector configuration files to identify which devices that you want to monitor. The SNMP data collector configuration files are defined by an MIB configuration file.
2. Discover the SNMP data collector configuration files using the asset discovery process as described in Discovering Assets and Monitoring Components.
3. Select the SNMP objects to monitor in My webMethods.
Monitoring begins when you select the SNMP objects and attributes from the My webMethods Monitored Components page.
