Weblogic 6 and snmp

Question

Reliable E-Commerce Solutions on Open StandardsThe BEA WebLogic 5.1 application servers improve e-commerce reliability with better application manageability and availability with new support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Customers can integrate their BEA WebLogic applications and servers into SNMP-based enterprise management frameworks that enable users to monitor their e-commerce applications and proactively detect and respond to problems as they occur. Furthermore, BEA WebLogic 5.1 application servers offer end-to-end security, from the browser to back-end transaction and data management systems, and provide new security capabilities including dynamic access control lists and flexible integration with third-party security frameworks. Through integration with leading security vendors such as Blockade, Entegrity Solutions (formerly Gradient), Netegrity and PentaSafe, BEA WebLogic customers can take advantage of additional security capabilities such as single sign-on and advanced auditing.

Answer 1

Bart,
Which WLS 6.1 SP are you using? I know there have been problems with earlier SPs.
I can use the Gauge Monitor for HeapFreeCurrent without problems.
Here is the config I used:
SNMPGaugeMonitor EnabledServers="myserver"
MonitoredAttributeName="HeapFreeCurrent"
MonitoredMBeanName="myserver"
MonitoredMBeanType="JVMRuntime"
Name="HeapSize" PollingInterval="1" ThresholdHigh="5" ThresholdLow="1"/>
This does generate a trap successfully.
The MonitoredMBeanName in your case should be equal to the Enabled Server, ie.
wb (if heapfreecurrent you are monnitoring is part of server wb).

Hello,
I just started with SNMP Traps on Weblogic 6.1, and I'm afraid I have
some questions.
a) I configured a Guage monitor to monitor the JVM memory usage.
But I can't get it working, it never sends out a trap.
This is the config I'm using:
<SNMPGaugeMonitor EnabledServers="wb,adminserver"
MonitoredAttributeName="HeapFreeCurrent"
MonitoredMBeanName="default" MonitoredMBeanType="JVMRuntime"
Name="JVMRuntime" PollingInterval="1" ThresholdHigh="8000000"
ThresholdLow="7167424"/>
Anybody has a clue?
b) Is it possible to monitor if the JDBC connections fails with SNMP?
(and if
to many transactions fails due to timeouts)
tnx in advance!
Bart
