Management Information Base (MIB) - SNMP for Control-M
Posted: 09 Jul 2009 10:07
Does anyone have any information on MIBs and SNMP and how it functions within Control-M (current v6.2). I'd appreciate any information.
I'm not sure about 6.2 but I would guess it's fairly similar to 6.3.1 and the connection is very easy to configure. Basically you have to set 3 items on the EM Admin side -
SendSnmp - normally set to 0 (default)
SnmpHost - the name of your NM server (OpenView or Tivoli, etc) - can be a list
SnmpSendActive - switch to '1' to make active
The MIBs use the 20 field/variable format and a full description is deatiled in CONTROLMEM-MIB.txt (in the <emHome> directory).
You may need to add an entry to the /etc/services file for port 162 to get the NM side listening. There's also a snmp-testing script on Control-M so you can send a variety of messages across to SNMP and decide how you want to handle them.
