SNMP4J-AgentJMX is an API that works on top of SNMP4J-Agent and SNMP4J to provide support for mapping content of an MBean server to a SNMP4J-Agent based SNMP agent.
To map MBeans of a server to SNMP, the following steps are necessary:
- Define or download a MIB. If you need to create one, use MIB Designer because you will have to redesign your MIB often in an iterative process. Using a visual tool which is capable of undo/redo and moving/refactoring MIB nodes saves many hours of work and bug search.
- Create the SNMP4J-Agent object initialization for MOTables & MOScalars to hold the MIB structure. This step is called "creating the MIB stubs". This can be done automated for SNMP4J-Agent by AgenPro (code generation from the MIB).
- Create a your own MOFactory ({code}myJmxMoFactory{code}) based on JMXDefaultMOFactory that actually creates SNMP4J-AgentJMX based ManagedObjects (MOScalarJMX and MOTableJMX).
Subclass the Mib class generated by AgenPro from the MIB and call
createMO(myJmxMoFactory);
