Wls agent as subagent to Sun's Snmp Master Agent

Hi Sanjeev
My Wls agent is working fine as Master agent with Sun's Snmpdx as subagent to it.
There is no problem with that.
But can I make WLS agent, subagent to Sun's Snmp Agent.For that I need Wls SubAgent resource
files to be included in the configuration directory of Sun's Snmp Agent.
Is this possible in the first place and if so how do I do it. I saw your response on the same issue for
Windows NT. I am mailing to find out if its different on Solaris(or Unix).
Thanks
Robert

in the wls agent).
You just need to specify in SUN's syntax (resource files...) where the wls
agent is running, what is its community, which MIBs it supports , what
should be the timeout and such ...
Good Luck!
If you run into any problem let me know.

Re: Wls agent as subagent to Sun's Snmp Master Agent

I have successfully configured the WL SNMP agent as subagent to
Sun's (Solaris 7 in my case) master SNMP agent.
Sun's Solstice Enterprise Agent documentation under docs.sun.com
is a bit confusing but serves as a reference if not a step-by-step guide.
Here are the general steps that I took:
1) Modify the shipped startSNMPAgent.sh for your system password
and community (I wouldn't use "public"!).
Add some if-then-fi code to check for the $1 command line parameter,
so Sun's master agent can pass in the dynamically allocated port number
that the agent will listen to. I also changed the ownership of this
script so only root can see it, as it contains the WL admin password.
2) Go to the /etc/snmp/conf directory (default Solaris 7 install).
Create the files weblogic.rsrc and weblogic.reg using the mibiisa.*
files as templates.
3) In the weblogic.reg file, add the lines
"macros = { bea = enterprise.140 }" before the "agents" line.
This defines the weblogic agent's starting OID point.
Then, change the subtree line to "bea".
4) In the .rsrc file, change the command used to spawn the
agent to "/weblogic/startSNMPAgent.sh $PORT".
Be aware that this spawn command is visible through Sun's master
agent MIB, so don't put anything sensitive in there (like a
community name or password).
5) Finally, there is a timing condition that you should be aware of.
WebLogic's SNMP agent will only bind to an active WL server.
Sun's master agent will only bind to an active subagent.
Therefore, you should ensure that
WebLogic server is started first (and the server comes completely
up), then Sun's master agent is started. I setup my /etc/rc3.d
startup files to run weblogic before snmpdx. I had to insert a
sleep command to make sure that WL was completely up before
snmpdx was run. This is because my startup script runs java in
the background, so if you don't sleep then WL won't be up before
snmpdx spawns the subagent and tries to bind to it.
Finally, Sun's mib files can be found under /var/snmp/mib.
Easier to find than NT's mib files!
Hope that helps -

Hello:
I created exactly as you specified. I.e weblogic.reg, weblogic.rsrc, weblogic.acl. But the issue I have is My weblogic snmp agent is listening on port 8061. Snmp demon on 161. So when I request the Snmp demon with OID of weblogic object. I am not getting the result also call is not reaching weblogic agent. Instead I am getting no such name or OID. So I am wondering why snmp demon is not forwarding the request to snmp demon.
Also Could you please explain the execution sequence of snmp demon and where you think I need to look at. Also please explain the constructs used in reg/acl/rsrc files.
Note:
I am using wls 6.1 sp2. So just my starting admin server. The enabled snmp gets started. Also I configured snmp demon so that when ever it gets started the weblogic server also starts. Also there is no issue in receiving traps.
Thanks in Advance.

SNMP subagent with SMUX SNMP master agent

I'm looking for the smux agent configuration for ucp-snmp to be able to use it as the master agent on a Linux/Solaris server. The subagent would be the LDAP instance snmp sub-agent. According to the documentation, if I have a master agent that I can't get rid of and is smux compliant, I can use it instead of the Netscape SNMP Master agent.
Even by configuring the ucp-snmp master agent as per the Netscape Directory Server documentation, the subagent is not starting. I always get the following error: "Unexpected error" in the console 4.2 window.
I'm using a Netscape Directory Server 4.16
Can anybody help me on what should be the smux configuration and then how to start the LDAP instance subagent?

Hi,
Iplanet does not support for it's products being installed on linux or snmp for linux.

SUN snmpdx SNMP Agent

Hello *,
In our project I want to use SUN (Solaris 9 and 10) SNMP Agent to send hardware failure traps.
As I know, besides other things, I have to edit snmpdx.acl file using following example.
snmpdx.acl:
# trap parameters
trap =
trap-community = public
hosts = atpcundx
enterprise = "sun"
trap-num = 0, 1, 2-5, 6-16
Problem that I have is that I cannot find explanations for meaning for parameter "enterprise" and "trap-num".
Does anyone have an idea where I can find descriptions what enterprise = "sun" or "snmp" or "3com" or "Solaris Volume Manager" means and what is the meaning of trap numbers integer values.
I tried to test configuration as it is described in SUN documentation. I have strange results. Traps are not sent until in snmpd.conf "trap = <hostname>" is set.
Entries from snmpd.acl file are ignored even in this case.
Generally, does anyone knows how to configure this feature to work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Snmp master agent won't start

I'm using Web Server 7.0U1 on Solaris 10U4. I'm trying to start the SNMP master subagent. On my Linux test platform, this works fine. But on the Solaris host, 'magt' hangs forever at startup and does nothing. This happens both when using the web console and wadm start-snmp-master-agent command.
How do I make magt work?

The SNMP master agent fails to start on Solaris 10U2 (and higher) due to the TCP fusion feature added in Solaris 10U2. (TCP fusion is a protocol-less data path for loopback TCP connections). One of the possible workarounds for this issue is to disable TCP fusion by adding the following line in /etc/system:
set ip:do_tcp_fusion = 0x0
The Sun Info Doc 86046 available on sunsolve explains the various TCP fusion related tunables.

NMS-00001: Warning: dbsnmp unable to connect to SNMP master agent
I get the above message as dbsnmp.log every day in my testdb.. wat is the purpose and meaning
oracle_home\network\log

Hmmmmm.
Using the online error code lookup facility in the Oracle documentation, I see the following:
NMS-00001: Warning: service unable to connect to SNMP master agent.
Cause: An SNMP Master Agent is used to communicate with a third party SNMP monitoring console. The specified service could not contact the SNMP master agent. The master agent supported by Oracle for this platform is not installed, or has not been started. Messages specific to this platform follow.
This is a warning and does not prevent the agent from communicating with the console. If Oracle Enterprise Manager is the only monitoring console accessing this agent, the NMS-00001 error can be considered informational and should be ignored. Configuration of the SNMP Master Agent is not reguired for the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console.
Action: Consult Oracle documentation for your platform; then, make sure that the correct SNMP master agent is installed and started. The SNMP Master Agent and the Oracle Intelligent Agent must be configured correctly before the Oracle Intelligent Agent can communicate over SNMP to the Master Agent.
The Oracle Intelligent Agent needs to be configured. The 7.3.2.x agent required an SNMP.ORA file. All later versions of the Oracle Intelligent Agent are self-configuring and do not reguire the creation of an snmp.ora file.
Solution Explanation
1. The Oracle Intelligent Agent needs to be configured. The 7.3.2.x agent required an SNMP.ORA file. All later versions of the Oracle Intelligent Agent are self-configuring and do not reguire the creation of an snmp.ora file.
2. The SNMP Master Agent needs to be configured and started.
There is even more. Especially in the are of 'how to configure and start'. Can wee look that up for you as well?

Dialog between the SNMP Master Agent and a SNMP SubAgent

I have developped a SNMP SubAgent. The Master Agent uses the static method to register the SubAgent. In the Registration File of the SubAgent, I have specified the UDP port number (example: port = 1234). When the SubAgent is started (by the MasterAgent), it must open the UDP port specified in the Registration File. The dialog works fine between the SubAgent and the Master Agent.
I would prefer not to specify the UDP port number in the Registration File so that the Master Agent chooses itself a free UDP port number. But the SubAgent needs to know this UDP port number to dialog with the Master Agent. I thought the SubAgent could read it in the Status File of the Master Agent. BUT in fact, when the Master Agent invokes the SubAgent, its Status File isn't yet updated with the right port number value.
How may the SubAgent know the UDP port number chosen by the Master Agent ?
NB: I haven't use the SunOS SNMP toolkit to develop the SubAgent.

Hi ,
Good question.
The subagent only communicates via the port 161 with the master agent as per my understanding. It only listens for SNMP request on the port number mentioned in the <<agentname>>.rsrc file or the port assigned by the master agent. Please start the subgent with no options "-d 4" and then you can confirm the behaviour. Enclosed below is a snippet of that output for reference. Also the UserGuide at the following link will be helpful.

Ports used for Intelligent agent and snmp master agent

I could not find any documentation regarding which ports are used for communication between master and intelligent
agent. Moreover which port has to be mentioned if I use snmpget for the master agent. Please let me also know if I use a
management platform like CA-Unicenter with which port I have to send the traps and where to configure.

WLS as SNMP subagent in Win2K

Does the SNMP agent in WLS 7.0 have the ability to be configured as a
subagent (extension agent) for the Win2K SNMP Service? If so, would
someone supply the steps for configuration?

Hi Ludovic,
I'm facing the similar problem on my directory server in China: SNMP subagent process could start firstly, but after several seconds (around 20 seconds) the process will be terminated automatically.
I could open SNMP master agent successfully.
#cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/plugins/snmp/magt
#./magt CONFIG INIT &
#ps -ef | grep agt
root 761 1 0 14:23:40 ? 0:00 ./magt CONFIG INIT
I could run SNMP subagent process but after 20 seconds the SNMP subagent process is terminated.
#/var/opt/mps/serverroot/bin/slapd/server/sparcv9/ns-ldapagt -d /var/opt/mps/serverroot/slapd-srd2
Command was performed without any error, and then do ps -ef | grep agt, I could see "slapd-srd2" process is running.
but after around 20 seconds when I do "ps -ef | grep agt" again, process "slapd-srd2" was gone:
I tried to add "-D" in the last command and got following debug info in /var/opt/mps/serverroot/slapd-srd2/logs/nsldapagt.log
In agt_setup_sock_addr():host_name = srd2; Port=1199
get_ip_by_name() returened s_addr = 1 for srd2
doing the good return
smux connect failure: Network is unreachable
/var/opt/mps/serverroot/bin/slapd/server/sparcv9/ns-ldapagt: mgmt_init_env fialure! Exiting. Make sure the SNMP master agent is running
I tried to ping srd2, result is "alive", "srd2" is "132.197.198.41". I tried to change "srd2" to OAM IP address "132.197.198.41", the problem is still there.
Solution I tried
I tried to modify /etc/system, add "set ip:do_tcp_fusion = 0x0", then restart server, but it doesn't help me, I still have that problem.
I tried to re-install directory server application, but the problem is still there.
I saw your reply above, you mean this could be the problem of 32bit or 64bit, could you give me more information, I even don't know how to check if I'm running process on 32bit or 64bit.
Thank you so much!

Problem in SNMP monitoring of Sun One Webserver on AIX

Hi,
I am trying to configure SNMP subagent configuration on Sun One Webserver 6.1 (sp2) running on Aix 5.3 system.
I am able to start the Agent & the Native agent. But I am not able to poll the values.
Can any one guide me how to debug the issue.
(The same works properly with snmp master agent provided as part of Webserver).
Also confirm which mib file should be used.
The document in Webserver still shows netscape oid to be added in smux of aix.

SNMP Solstice Master agent

Hi All,
I have a Subagent that talks with SNMP Solstice Master Agent on solaris 8. For the set requests sent by the Command line or Manager the Master Agent breaks the PDU into multiple set requests and then sends them one by one(with 1 variable at a time) to my Subagent.How can I avoid this break up of PDU at SNMP Master agent.
Thanks

Weblogic SNMP Agent with WindowsNT SNMP Agent

Can I setup Weblogic SNMP agent as a sub-agent to Windows NT SNMP agent (Microsoft's version)? According to documentation, sub-agents for Microsft's SNMP agent need to be implemented as 32-bit multithreaded DLLs using the Microsoft SNMP API. Does Weblogic have DLLs that we could use for this purpose?
If that is not possible, is there a roadmap on how to provide the same support as the Microsoft's SNMP agent under Weblogic SNMP agent so that the Weblogic agent would provide the same visibility into the system that the Microsoft's agent does by default? Is this even possible?
Thanks.

I figured this out. It uses the 'snmp' setting from the services file. Just changing that works. Would have been more convenient if there was also a command line flag for that purpose.
Thanks.

No.
However, you can have the WLS agent proxy for the NT agent. e.g. you can run
the NT agent on a non-standard port and the WLS agent on 161 and then use
'-otherAgents' option so that the WLS agent will forward any reqs for the NT
agent MIB to that agent. In this setup the SNMP Manager can view that node
as one SNMP entity which supports the WLS MIB + NT MIB
See http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/admindocs/snmpagent.html#use_agent for
details.

SNMP stat isn't updated by Sun WebServer if started from comand line

Reproduce steps:
- Configure server instance for SNMP monitoring( from webconsole or server.xml)
- restart snmp master agent and subagent server
- start server (/opt/SUNWwbsvr/https-server1/start)
Server information appears in SNMP start but its status(1.3.6.1.4.1.42.1.60.1.1.8) is always 0.
Woraround: start/stop sevrer from web admin console
and it starts to update SNMP start for next command line launches
Problems appears at
version: 6.1 SP4
platforms: Linux RHEL3, AIX.
(At Window all is fine.)
I'm wondering if somebody met this problem and perhaps knows the sollution.

Can you do the following and let us know the result :
(a) ps -ef | grep httpagt
(b) send a SIGHUP signal to httpagt process and then try to access after few seconds to see if it updates the status of the server.
kill -HUP <pid of httpagt>
(c) Can you see any log in <install_root>https-admserv/logs/log.httpagt ?
Are you running both instance and admin server as different users?

WLS new installation SUN or Oracle JDK?

hi all,
i am in the middle of installing WLS the first time. can you give me your opinion whether i should stick with SUN JDK or Oracle JDK?
given my history i am very familiar with handling SUN JDKs and have no clue about Oracle JDK...
BUT which one of the two is better when running WLS?
regards chris

Hi Chris,
Sun JDK and JRockit both are built on the same source, in fact JRockit uses Sun API. Both has pros and cons.
When coming to JRockit you will be able to find support from weblogic team where Oracle has separate engineering team for JRockit. However there are lot of dependencies on Sun JDK.
As Ravi said now Sun is also part of Oracle so its your option to do the selection.
To find out the differences between Sun and JRockit please refer the following:
