Tim,
I'll start off with recommending that you consider using standard MIB & MIB2 SNMP packets to support other products that may be in your network. Nimbus probably does that. My problem with some other products has been the type of information collected by the agents on Z/OS. Will it be just STATE changes (UP/DOWN -started task/address spaces) or will your other monitors (TMON/SYSVIEW/OMEGAMON etc...) supply NIMBUS with MIB/MIB2 predefined NIMBUS traps for these other vendors. Are you going for a NETWORK presence and/or Application presence with this tool? For example Is the mainframe UP (NETWORK?) Has DB2 stopped logging (application?) Most important of ALL - Make sure the mainframe gets a Cool ICON on the graphical displays :) Kevin -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Leitner, Timothy Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 4:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Sending zOS traps to Nimbus All, Has anyone had experience that they can share with sending syslog or snmp traps to outside products? We have Nimbus in-house from Nimsoft. It is a central messaging system for thresholds and alerts. It accepts SNMP traps or SYSLOG routing. We have worked on send alerts from AIX, Intel, network and others but we need to send from our zOS systems also. Any ideas, examples, thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
