Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables enterprise-wide management systems to manage heterogeneous software and hardware environments from a single management console.
The following sections describe the contents and organization of this guide—WebLogic SNMP Management Guide.
This document is a resource for systems administrators who use SNMP to monitor WebLogic Server.
The topics in this document describe the SNMP capabilities of WebLogic Server. The Administration Console Online Help provides specific, task-related information on configuring SNMP services in a WebLogic Server domain.
It is assumed that the reader is familiar with SNMP and general network management concepts. For background information on SNMP, refer to the documents listed in Related Documentation.
This document is organized as follows:
For step-by-step instructions on configuring SNMP services in a WebLogic Server domain, see " Use SNMP to Monitor WebLogic Server" in the Administration Console Online Help.

For background information on SNMP, see com.protocols.snmp SNMP FAQ Part 1 and Part 2.
The SNMP protocol has been defined through a series of Requests for Comments (RFCs). The standards and drafts in Table are available from www.faqs.org/rfcs.
This release contains no changes for SNMP features.
WebLogic Server 9.0 significantly reorganized the WebLogic Server management data model, and as a result added new managed objects in the MIB and deprecated others. See Introduction and Roadmap in WebLogic SNMP Management Guide for WebLogic Server 9.0.
