Documentation
The password (community name) that you want the WebLogic SNMP
 agent to use to secure communication with SNMP managers.



Note that there are two community names that are needed when the
 WebLogic SNMP agent and SNMP managers interact:


  - 


The name that you specify in this community prefix. All SNMP
 managers must send this name when connecting to the WebLogic SNMP
 agent.



  - 


The community name that the SNMP manager defines. The WebLogic
 SNMP agent must send this name when connecting to the manager. (You
 supply this community name when you configure a trap
 destination.)






In addition to using the community prefix as a password, the
 WebLogic SNMP agent uses the prefix to qualify requests from SNMP
 managers. Because a WebLogic Server domain can have multiple server
 instances concurrently active, a request that specifies only an
 attribute name is potentially ambiguous. For example, the attribute
 serverUptime exists for each WebLogic Server instance
 in a domain. To clarify requests, use the community prefix as
 follows:


  - 


To request the value of an attribute on a specific Managed
 Server, when you send a request from an SNMP manager, append the
 name of the server instance to the community prefix:
 community_prefix@server_name.



  - 


To request the value of an attribute on the Administration
 Server, send a community name with the following form:
 community_prefix



  - 


To request the value of an attribute for all server instances in
 a domain, send a community name with the following form:
 community_prefix@domain_name






To secure access to the values of the WebLogic attributes, it is
 recommended that you set community prefix to a value other than
 public.
