JMX is emerging as the most preferred technology for management
of Java and J2EE applications. On the other hand, SNMP poised to
deliver an end-to-end management from various networks to different
applications is a dominant protocol with widespread acceptance.
Above all these facts, SNMP is supported by all well-known enterprise
consoles, such as HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, etc. Thus SNMP and JMX
complement each other by providing simple and standard-based application
management. WebNMS SNMP Adaptor for JMX leverages the power of
both SNMP and JMX enabling you to easily build SNMP agents for any
Java or J2EE application.
Application developers and application server vendors having JMX
MBeans with the instrumentation code written, look for an SNMP adaptor
to manage those MBeans through SNMP. Also, many JBoss administrators
are highly in need of SNMP agents for a comprehensive fault and
performance management of their server and the components deployed
in it.
WebNMS solves the above problems by providing SNMP Adaptor for
JMX which
Offers an out-of-the-box SNMP Agent for JBoss that exceptionally
monitors and manages the JBoss server components through SNMP.
Provides a configurable SNMP adaptor for user-defined MBeans
