The architecture for the Informix® implementation
of SNMP depends on your operating system.
SNMP is incompatible on High-Availability Data Replication (HDR)
secondary servers, remote standalone (RS) secondary servers, or shared
disk (SD) secondary servers.
Informix SNMP
architecture on UNIX™
The
following figure shows the SNMP architecture for Informix database
servers on UNIX. Each managed
workstation runs one master agent and one server discovery process.
Each database server has one OnSNMP process.

architecture on UNIX
Informix SNMP
architecture on Windows™
The
following figure shows the SNMP architecture for Informix database
servers on Windows. Each
managed workstation runs one master agent. The master agent and the
SNMP Network Manager use SNMP to communicate with each other. Each
managed workstation runs one server discovery process and one infxsnmp.dll.
One instance of the onsnmp subagent is started for each instance
of Informix that
runs on the managed workstation. OnSNMP and the master agent do not
need to use SNMP to communicate with each other. Figure 2: Informix SNMP
