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.

For example, even if you use a database that is on a local host, you can call a remote technical support representative to report a problem. The problem might be that the data for the transactions running in a particular situation is less than expected. From the remote location, the technical support representative can query an SNMP Network Manager to determine the database server configuration, monitor the database server performance, and identify the bottleneck. OnSNMP provides this information to SNMP Network Managers through the master agent.
