5 Working With the Hardware Management Agent

Once the Hardware Management Agent is installed, you can use it to monitor your Oracle server. The Hardware Management Agent provides the SNMP Plugins layer, which enables you to retrieve and set information using SNMP, and to generate SNMP traps.

Note:

To perform SNMP monitoring using the Hardware SNMP plugins, you must configure polling support in the Hardware Management Agent hwmgmtd.conf file as described in Configuring the Hardware Management Agent and Hardware SNMP Plugins.
