Collection of Allocation and Resource Utilization via SNMP

Preliminary

Beside deployments and allocations, iObserve must be able to collect resource utilization of hosts and also network devices. Therefore, Kieker must be supplemented to support for SNMPv2/3 and be able to retrieve SNMP messages and map them to Kieker records. In addition it should be possible to activate and deactivate SNMP monitoring.

Additional information can be found here:

• Create an SNMP client http://www.jitendrazaa.com/blog/java/snmp/create-snmp-client-in-java-using-snmp4j
• http://www.friendlysnmp.org/Overview.php
• Oracle documentation on Java SNMP support http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/management/snmp.html
• Create an SNMP server http://www.jitendrazaa.com/blog/java/snmp/creating-snmp-agent-server-in-java-using-snmp4j/
• SNMP specfication https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1213
• Kieker https://www.kieker-monitoring.net

Main goals are:

• a reader for SNMP messages which allows to map SNMP messages to onto Kieker records.
• an abstract Kieker agent, which can be extended/subclassed to be able to send specific monitoring data via SNMP.
