3rd party MIBs in Sun Management Center

Hello:

I have just installed a Sun Mangement Center 3.5 environment.

Also configured some SNMP object, some as proxy monytoring and other just as SNMP ping.

Now I have to configure some SNMP objects for which I have SNMPv2 MIBS and I dont know how to do it.

The Installation manual talks about configuring a legacy agent as a subagent.......is that the way to go?

I,ve read the instructions but there are some things I can磘 understand.

The SNMP object is configured to transmit to the SMC server and to 1162 port.

The MIB file is on the SMC server machine is called sylantro.my and just placed it in /opt/SUNWsymon/sylantro/ directory, should this file reside in another directory?

How should I fill the info in subagent-registry-d.x?

sa2 = {

type= legacy

persist= false

snmpPort = "1162"

errorAction = restart

startCommand= "/usr/lib/snmp/mibiisa -p %port"

stopCommand= "kill -9 %pid"

pollInterval = 60

pollHoldoff = 60

oidTrees = 1.3.6.1.4.1

snmpVersion = SNMPv2

securityLevel = noauth

securityName =public

}

Questions:

is the name sa2 in the example arbitrary? or is related to the MIB file?

startCommand which command should I use to start? I only have a MIB file, or should I use mibiisa command? if so, where is the MIB file related to the subagent-registry-d.x file?

oidTreesis this data in the MIB file? I found some documents that expresed 1.3.6.1.4.1.3945I found that 3945 in the MIB, but the previous numbers do not.

snmpVersionis SNMPv2 ok?

securityLevelis ok to place noauth here? when setup for SMC was done I typed something for seed and also the default public string

How sould this SNMP object be configured in SMC to be able to monitor that object?

Ok this is all, thanks for any help.

here is an extrac from the sylantro.my MIB file

Hi cva01,

If you'd like to poll your device for all its data and see it all inside SunMC then you'd have to use the SDK that comes with SunMC and the "Module Builder" module to import the MIB (or do it by hand). If it's something you'll need to use a lot of my company can build Sylantro monitoring from that MIB for you.

If you only want traps that come from the device, we'll be releasing an Event Gateway module soon that allows a SunMC Agent to decode and log (and alarm on) SNMP traps.

The subagent example you found shows how to have SunMC forward specific data acquisition requests through itself to another SNMP Agent. i.e. if there's another SNMP process on the same system as the SunMC Agent and you'd prefer to only have to poll a single process instead of two.
