SNMP MIB variables
VPO can also monitor SNMP MIB variables. VPO queries SNMP MIB
variables on the agents at defined intervals, and checks the output
against the threshold values. If the result is above the maximum or
below the minimum threshold value, VPO generates a message that
is sent to the management server by way of the message agent.
Monitor scripts or programs should be provided by the integrator. The
scripts or programs are either assumed to exist on the respective
managed nodes (e.g., if they are part of a monitored application) or they
can be distributed to the managed nodes by VPO. If it is required to
distribute these scripts with VPO, they must be copied into the following
directory on the VPO management server:
/var/opt/OV/share/tmp/OpC_appl/<app_name>/<lang>\
/EXECUTABLES/...
From this directory, the scripts can be downloaded automatically,
uploaded to the customer’s management server, and distributed to the
managed nodes.
