pinks -
D'oh!
Read the
JavaRanch Naming Policy again. User names cannot be
obviously fake (which both "baby pink" and "pinks" are) and must constist of a
first name and a last name ("pinks" doesn't fit this). We prefer that people use their real names, but you are free to use a made up name as long as it meets these criteria - something like "John Pinks", "Sally Pink", "Harold Pink", etc. - any of these would be fine.
You can change your user name
here.
Sorry that I don't know a lot about all the pieces you need - here are the things I do know -
1.) I know a little about SNMP - and I've used a Java SNMP implementation before on a project - but I don't know a whole lot about everything SNMP does/can do.
2.) I've heard a little about JMX, but really haven't used it before.
It's definitely possible to combine SNMP and JMX - in fact
there's a product that does so - how to implement this yourself? I'm not sure...
Could you do the follwing with it -
send an email - yep. Use the JavaMail API.invoke an executable - yep. Use Runtime.exec().generate an SNMP trap - yep. Use whatever SNMP API you're using. As far as monitoring -
Live server - I don't know what a "Live server" is... but I guess as long as there's some way to "monitor" it, you could...application server - As far as I know a lot of application servers do provide some way to monitor them through SNMP... so it's probable that you'd just have to read or search for some material on how to do so for your specific app server.
