Monitor Problems With SNMP Traps

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for network management services. Network management software typically uses SNMP to query or control the state of network devices like routers and switches.

These devices sometimes also generate asynchronous alerts in the form of UDP/IP packets, called SNMP traps, to inform the management systems of problems.

TimesTen cannot be queried or controlled through SNMP. However, TimesTen sends SNMP traps for certain critical events to facilitate user recovery mechanisms.

  • Cache autorefresh failure

  • Database out of space

  • Replicated transaction failure

  • Death of daemons

  • Database invalidation

  • Assertion failure

These events also cause log entries to be written by the TimesTen daemon, but exposing them through SNMP traps enables properly configured network management software to take immediate action.
