SNMP Support in jManage 1.0.4

jManage 1.0.4 supports SNMP version 1 with "public" community string. As jManage tries to map the SNMP information to MBeans, it uses snmp-oids.properties file to map SNMP OIDs to MBean attribute names.

Currently, snmp-oids.properties file contains Solaris OIDs. If you add more OIDs here, please share them with the community.

SNMP support is primitive at this point, and we are looking to get some feedback from you. Please let us know if you use jManage to connect to a SNMP device, and what improvements you are looking for.

jManage is not a replacement for a Network Management System like OpenNMS, but it tries to provide read-only view of some interesting attribute values.

jManage Alerts with JBoss

Before setting up Alerts in jManage for JBoss, you need to copy "jmanage-jboss.jar" from <jmanage-home>/modules/jboss to <jboss-server-config>/lib.

For example, if you are running the "default" JBoss server configuration, copy this jar to: <jboss-home>/server/default/lib.

You will need to restart JBoss, after copying the file.

Also note that jManage comes with JBoss 3.2.4 jars. If you are connecting to JBoss 4.0, you need to copy the 4.0 jars to <jmanage-home>/modules/jboss directory.
