Adding SNMP Component Assets for Discovery
*To add SNMP component assets for discovery
1. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > Analytics > Infrastructure Components > Discovery
2. Click Add Asset.
The Add Asset Discovery dialog is displayed.
3. Populate the fields (required fields are identified with *).
The following table describes the fields in the Add Asset Discovery dialog.
Field
Description
*Asset Type
Select the type of asset (SNMP) to discover.
*Data Collector
Select the Infrastructure Data Collector to use for the discovery.
Tip:
Only one Infrastructure Data Collector can be used to monitor the same SNMP component on different JMS queues, so if you use multiple Infrastructure Data Collectors, be careful not to point more than one to the same SNMP component.
*SNMP Version
Select the appropriate SNMP version to use when connecting to the SNMP agent for the discovery.
*SNMP Host
Enter the host name or IP address for the discovery. The name must be unique.
*Port
Enter the port number for the discovery. The default is 161.
*Username
(SNMPv3 only) User name for accessing the discovery.
Authentication Protocol
(SNMPv3 only) Type of authentication protocol to be used. Possible values are SHA1 and MD5.
Authentication Password
(SNMPv3 only) Password needed for the specified authentication protocol.
Privacy Protocol
(SNMPv3 only) Type of encryption protocol to be used. Possible values are AES and DES.
Privacy Password
(SNMPv3 only) Password needed for the specified encryption protocol.
*Community Password
(SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c only) Password needed to log in to the asset. This is the community password used for secure connections to the SNMP Agent.
*SNMP Config
Location of the SNMP MIB Configuration file on the Infrastructure Data Collector host for this SNMP component discovery.
Note:
Note that a single MIB filename cannot be used in two different locations on the same host; however, the same filename (with exactly the same path) can be used to discover SNMP agents located on different hosts.
4. Click OK to add the specified asset, or click Cancel if you want to cancel the procedure without adding the discovery.
