Java application monitoring via SNMP

Question

Java application and monitoring via SNMP. I want to do possibilities to monitoring my Java application via SNMP. I think, i should write to MIB messages from my application. Is it right? And how it usually implemented this? Thanks!

Answer 1

To send SNMP traps from Java you can use Westhawk's Java SNMP stack

Answer 2

If you're running your application on JBoss server 3.2 or above, you can use JBoss's JBossSNMPAdapter (see this link for more info).

The SNMPAdapter converts JMX notifications to SNMP traps, so this is probably only a good idea if you're already sending these from your application. Otherwise, sending SNMP traps directly from your application (See rsp's answer) is probably easier.
