Informix implementation of SNMP on UNIX or Linux

To use the HCL Informix® implementation of SNMP on UNIX™ or Linux™, you must install and start the following software:
  • runsnmp.ksh
  • An SNMP Network Manager on a network management workstation
  • A master agent on each workstation that includes the HCL Informix database server
  • the HCL Informix database server

    When you install the Informix database server, the installation procedure installs the OnSNMP subagent and the server discovery process as well as the files needed for SNMP support.

    The discovery process discovers multiple server instances running on the host. These instances might belong to different versions that are installed on different directories. Whenever a server instance is brought online, the discovery process detects it and creates an instance of OnSNMP to monitor the database server.
