Starting and Stopping the Agent

To start up the agent, enter the following command:

lsnrctl dbsnmp_start

Note: If you run the agent as root, jobs are run with Unix security attributes.

The following warning message might display:

NMS-00001: dbsnmp unable to connect to SNMP master agent

This warning is only a problem if you intend to use the agent with an SNMP master agent. For example, if you want to monitor Oracle through HP OpenView. The agent is capable of running without SNMP.

To verify that the agent is running, you can enter one of the following commands:

lsnrctl dbsnmp_status 
ps -aux | grep dbsnmp (Unix platform)

The output from the ps command should contain a line that is similar to the following:

.../bin/dbsnmp      root       18967 18456 1

Note: If you have problems running the agent, review the snmp.ora parameters to make sure they are set up correctly.

To stop the agent, enter the following command :

lsnrctl dbsnmp_stop
