About SNMP Receivelets

While monitoring third-party entities in your managed environment, if the status of a third-party network element turns unavailable or if its metric severity conditions (metric thresholds) are met or exceeded, the SNMP Agent of that third-party network element sends a notification to the Management Agent. These notifications are in the form of SNMP traps that get triggered asynchronously upon reaching the performance thresholds, and without any requests from the Management Agent.

Since these traps are based on SNMP, the Management Agent uses SNMP Receivelets to receive and translate these SNMP traps into a form compatible with Oracle Management Service.

For more information about the SNMP receivelet, see the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Extensibility Programmer's Reference.
