Oracle SNMP Support for Oracle Services

Oracle SNMP Support is a bundled feature of SQL*Net release 2.2. SNMP is a standard underlying many popular network management systems.

Oracle SNMP support allows an Oracle7 Server, listener, MultiProtocol Interchange, or Oracle Names Server to be queried by any SNMP-based network management system such as Hewlett-Packard's OpenView, IBM's NetView6000, and DEC's POLYCENTER/NetView. SNMP support is built into the SQL*Net listener, Oracle Names, and MultiProtocol Interchange--it is not a separate executable. For example, when a network listener, Oracle Names Server, or MultiProtocol Interchange is started, SNMP support is automatically started. The SNMP Master Agent must be running before starting any subagent. For information on starting the SNMP Master Agent refer to your operating system-specific documentation.

The SNMP subagent for the Oracle7 Server is a separate executable, and must be started separately. For information see "Controlling theOracle Database Subagent" later in this chapter.
