Features	Description	Benefits
JBoss SNMP agent	Out-of-the-box fault and performance management of JBoss application server through SNMP.	Exposes JBoss MBeans through SNMP, enabling manageability for JBoss application server and the applications deployed in it without any coding or complex development effort.
Developer friendly	No code generation and minimal effort for configuring and deploying the SNMP adaptor for user-defined MBeans.	Minimum development effort and immediate value.
Simple and straight forward wizards	SNMP Configuration Wizard, to configure the SNMP adaptor for user-defined MBeans.	Enables easy configuration of the SNMP adaptor specific to the user-defined MBeans.
Automatic MIB generation	A tool for automatically generating MIB relevant to the MBeans to be exposed via SNMP.	Productive model as this saves time over manually defining MIBs for various MBeans.
SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 support	Implementation of RFCs for SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3 compliance.	Ensures data security and compliance with SNMP standards.
Master Sub agent architecture	Proxy support to expose existing SNMP agents through the SNMP adaptor.	Helps to manage applications in distributed environment and provides a single point of management. OS native agents implementing MIB-2, Host-Resources-MIB, etc. can be accessed through the agent for which the adaptor is configured.
Rule Engine with Powerful Rule Editor	A tool for defining and uploading the rules dynamically for configuring SNMP traps, sending e-mails, invoking scripts or Java operations for corrective action.	Adds intelligence to the SNMP agent by executing rules which are configurable at runtime.
Inter-operable with various JMX implementations and application servers.	Support for various JMX implementations, such as JBossMX, Sun JMXRI, MX4J, TMX4J, and XMOJO. The various application servers include JBoss 3.x, WebLogic 6.1, WebLogic 7.0, WebLogic 8.1, WebSphere 5.0, and Tomcat 4.1.x	Provides compatibility across major JMX implementations and application servers.

Out-of-the-box JBoss SNMP Agent

WebNMS SNMP Adaptor for JMX offers out-of-the-box JBoss SNMP Agent. The JBoss SNMP agent (available as a WAR file) when deployed in the application server, provides off-the-shelf SNMP management facilities. It exposes the performance statistics of the JBoss application server, as defined in JSR-77 specification, by contacting the JSR-77 compliant MBeans. This enables SNMP management applications, such as HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, CA Unicenter etc., to easily access the management information of the JBoss application

SNMP Adaptor for User-Defined MBeans

Enabling SNMP management for different kinds of management applications and systems is solved with a layered approach using WebNMS SNMP Adaptor for JMX. The SNMP adaptor when plugged into the MBean server, gets registered like any other MBean. Any SNMP manager, such as HP OpenView, Tivoli, etc. can manage the MBeans through SNMP by contacting the SNMP adaptor.
