Informix implementation of SNMP

The HCL Informix® implementation of SNMP lets database administrators monitor Informix database servers and databases.

Components of the Informix implementation
Purpose of Informix SNMP
SNMP standard
The SNMP standard has two versions: SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.
SNMP architecture
The architecture for the HCL Informix implementation of SNMP depends on your operating system.
Informix implementation of SNMP on UNIX or Linux
Informix implementation of SNMP on Windows
GLS and SNMP
HCL Informix products include a Global Language Support (GLS) feature, which lets you work with languages that use code sets other than the standard English code set. However, the SNMP protocols that OnSNMP supports (SNMPv1 and SNMPv2) do not recognize these different code sets.
MIB types and objects
This section describes the types of MIBs and the types of MIB objects that the HCL Informix database server uses.
Table indexing
Refresh control value
As a background task, OnSNMP periodically updates the contents of MIB tables that it derives from catalog information. The refresh control value determines the amount of time that OnSNMP spends refreshing these MIB tables versus the amount of time that it spends responding to queries from the master agent.
Files installed for SNMP
This section lists the files that are typically installed for the HCL Informix implementation of SNMP on UNIX and Windows.
