SNMP Connector allows you to monitor and configure the network components such as servers, routers, switches or printers through the WSO2 ESB. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol for managing devices on IP networks. It uses the snmp4j library which is an enterprise class free open source SNMP implementation for Java™ SE. Before start, the ESB, download snmp4j-2.5.5.jar and add it to the <ESB_HOME>/repository/components/lib directory. Environment Setup Download ESB 5.0.0 from  here . Deploy the SNMP Connector.(Refer this to  add and enable the connector ) Following is a sample proxy service that illustrates how to test the SNMPSet operation. <proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="SNMPSet" startOnLoad="true" statistics="disable" trace="disable" transports="https,http,local"> <target> <inSequence...

The SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol)is a protocol that allows devices to expose useful information to other devices or applications. Using SNMP, the Network operators can be able to manage their network elements, identify the fault, and can configure the remote system. The SNMP Protocol is based on the communication between an Agent and a Manager. SNMP Manager: A manager or management system is a separate entity that is responsible for communicating with the SNMP agent implemented network devices. SNMP Manager’s key functions Queries agents.  Gets responses from agents Sets variables in agents.  Acknowledges asynchronous events from agents.  SNMP Agent: The agent is a program that is packaged within the network element. Enabling the agent allows it to collect the management information database from the device locally and makes it available to the SNMP manager when it is queried for. These agents could be standard (e.g. Net-SNMP) or specific to a...
