AdventNet SNMP 5.0 Adaptor and JBoss 4

[ericcartman13]

Hi,

I am trying to publish my JMX messages via SNMP. I don't have good SNMP background and as far as I read and talked to people, there is nothing SIMPLE about SNMP, therefore I thought AdventNet's SNMP adaptor would be just the right solution for my problem.

I've downloaded AdventNet SNMPAdaptor 5.0 evaluation version but unfortunately when I saw that there is no support for JBoss except 3.0.x and 3.2.x versions I was so dissappointed. So my question is

1) Is JBoss 4 compatible with AdventNet SNMPAdaptor 5.0?
1.1) If it is, how can I configure SNMPAdaptor with JBoss? Is there a way around? Could you please give me simple MBean example and how to publish an SNMP message via Rule Editor. I found AdventNet's documentation rather poor.
1.2) If it is not compatible, will JBoss have a similar approach (not SNMP support which is already there for people confident in SNMP but an SNMP Adaptor to automate JMX to SNMP) in the next release?

Regards,
Eric

I can only answer to your 3rd question: it's not likely to have a graphical environment (kind of snmp rules editor) in future version of jboss, unless there is enough demand :)

If you just want to get traps across, without a MIB generated, then it's relatively easy to configure the existing adapter:

In case you haven't seen our wiki docs:

Thank you for your reply. Even though I needed to just simply forward the incoming JMX Messages to SNMP, I had to read on SNMP a bit to understand the terms.

I used AdventNet's Free SNMP API to do that and everything is OK for now.

Thanks for your reply again.

Eric
