SNMP Notifications

You can set up Sybase Unified Agent to include a Simple Network Message Protocol (SNMP) plug-in that sends notifications to the configured target when the state of an Unwired Server changes (that is, from running to stopped, or from stopped to running).

SNMP is the standard protocol for managing networks and exchanging messages. If the SNMP plug-in is set up for a Sybase Unified Agent, the plug-in creates notifications in response to predetermined status change events that are detected and signaled by the Unwired Server code. When the plug-in generates a notification, a single copy of the notification is transmitted to each target. The SNMP notification target must be the host name and port of a network monitoring station (NMS) that has the ability to process SNMP notifications; Unwired Platform does not include this functionality. Targets and other notification configuration information are read when the Sybase Unified Agent is initialized; therefore, you must stop and restart the agent when enabling SNMP.
