SNMP concepts
This section provides a brief introduction to Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Informix®
implementation of SNMP
The
HCL Informix®
implementation of SNMP lets database administrators monitor
Informix®
database servers and databases.
Components of the
Informix®
implementation
Purpose of
Informix®
SNMP
Event notification
You can configure an SNMP Network Manager to notify you when a specific event occurs.
Data requests
You can issue a one-time data request to compare the configuration parameters of two database servers. You can issue periodic data requests to provide statistical information for assessing database performance or resource allocation.
Traps
Information that OnSNMP provides
All the information that OnSNMP provides is available from other sources, such as the system catalog tables, the
sysmaster
and
sysutils
databases, dbaccess calls, and the
onstat
utility.
SNMP standard
The SNMP standard has two versions: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.
SNMP architecture
The architecture for the
Informix®
implementation of SNMP depends on your operating system.
Informix®
implementation of SNMP on UNIX™ or Linux™
Informix®
implementation of SNMP on Windows™
GLS and SNMP
HCL Informix®
products include a Global Language Support (GLS) feature, which lets you work with languages that use code sets other than the standard English code set. However, the SNMP protocols that OnSNMP supports (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2) do not recognize these different code sets.
MIB types and objects
This section describes the types of MIBs and the types of MIB objects that the
HCL Informix®
database server uses.
Table indexing
Refresh control value
As a background task, OnSNMP periodically updates the contents of MIB tables that it derives from catalog information. The refresh control value determines the amount of time that OnSNMP spends refreshing these MIB tables versus the amount of time that it spends responding to queries from the master agent.
Files installed for SNMP
This section lists the files that are typically installed for the
Informix®
implementation of SNMP on UNIX™ and Windows™.
Management Information Base reference
An SNMP Network Manager hides most of the structures of the Management Information Base (MIB). However, an understanding of this structure can help you comprehend the information that an SNMP Network Manager displays.
InformixHQ Guide
InformixHQ is a modern web console for visualizing, monitoring, and managing your Informix server instances. It is purpose built for ease-of-use, scaling out, and optimizing DevOps needs. It provides critical performance management capabilities, monitoring how key performance metrics are changing over time and tracking how efficiently Informix is running your workload even when you’ve stepped away from your screen. Its monitoring system feeds directly into a customizable alerting system so you can be immediately alerted via email, Twilio, or PagerDuty whenever an issue occurs on one of your Informix database server instances. InformixHQ is designed to be scalable to efficiently manage and monitor as many Informix database server instances as you need. Moreover, it's a tool that can be shared by the DBAs, the app developers, the ops engineers, and management and accessed from any desktop, laptop, or mobile device. InformixHQ is the centralized hub for graphical monitoring, alerting, and administration of your Informix database servers.
Backup and Restore Guide
The
Informix® Backup and Restore Guide
describes how to use the
Informix®
ON-Bar
and
ontape
utilities to back up and restore database server data.
These utilities enable you to recover your databases after data is lost or becomes corrupted due to hardware or software failure or accident.
Enterprise Replication
The describes the concepts of data replication using
Informix® Enterprise Replication
, including how to design your replication system, as well as administer and manage data replication throughout your enterprise.
Purpose of
Informix
SNMP
Event notification
