Interpreting Variables of the Enterprise Manager MIB

This appendix provides information to help you interpret the variables of the private Oracle Enterprise Manager MIB which are implemented in this release. Specifically, it includes sections covering SNMP variables in the following tables:

- oraAgentEventTable

- oraAgentTraps

## oraAgentEventTable

Table F-1 lists the variables of the oraAgentEventTable and their corresponding Object IDs.

## oraAgentTraps

Unlike other SNMP variables, a trap variable is not an agent's response to a management station's request for information. Rather, it is a unsolicited message that an agent can send to a management station when that agent notices that some condition has occurred (a threshold has been reached, for example).

All events discovered by the Oracle Enterprise Manager agent can be configured to send an SNMP trap when the event occurs.

Traps sent out by the Oracle Enterprise Manager agent can be received by any tool that is listening on the standard UDP port 162 and is able to perform the required ASN.1 decoding. There is a wide variety of such products, ranging from free software available over the Internet to sophisticated network management platforms including HP's OpenView, Sun's Solstice, and IBM's NetView/6000.

This feature of the Oracle Enterprise Manager agent is available on platforms that support SNMP and only if the extensible SNMP master agent is started. The agent attempts to connect to the SNMP master agent at startup time. If this fails, either because the platform does not support SNMP or the master agent is not started, then no traps are sent. The destination of all traps is determined by the configuration matter of the SNMP master agent. See your operating system-specific documentation for details.

Table F-2 lists each oraAgentTraps variable and its corresponding object ID.

##### Table F-2 oraAgentTraps Variables and Corresponding Object IDs
