5.1 Installed SNMP Packages

The default installation of Oracle VM Server includes the NET-SNMP suite of applications. These applications allow you use the SNMP protocol to monitor Oracle VM Server.

The following SNMP packages are installed by default:

Package	Description
`net-snmp`	SNMP agent daemon and documentation.
`net-snmp-libs`	Runtime libraries and management information bases (MIBs).
`net-snmp-utils`	Network management utilities such as snmpget and snmpwalk.
`ovs-snmp`	SNMP shared object module that lets you monitor Oracle VM Server. The Oracle VM Server management information base (MIB) defines several objects that provide information about the server and the virtual machines running on the server. The base OID for this MIB is `1.3.6.1.4.1.111.57.1`. You can find more information about the objects that this MIB defines in the following file on Oracle VM Server: `/usr/share/snmp/mibs/ORACLE-OVS-MIB.txt`. Note This package is installed by default. However, you must manually add the object module to `snmpd.conf`, see Section 5.2, “Adding the Oracle VM Server Object Module”. The Oracle VM Server object module applies to x86 systems only. This object module does not apply to Oracle VM Server for SPARC.

Check the installed packages as follows:

# rpm -qa | grep snmp
net-snmp-5.5-xx.x.x.xxx_x.x.x86_64
net-snmp-libs-5.5-xx.x.x.xxx_x.x.x86_64
net-snmp-utils-5.5-xx.x.x.xxx_x.x.x86_64
ovs-snmp-x.x-x.el6.x86_64

See the NET-SNMP documentation for more information.
