Configuring SNMP for non-standard port use  Configuring clusters to publish SNMP telemetry

Chapter 2: Configuring the Global Console

Changing SNMP settings

SNMP daemon settings for MAX_THREADS and MAX_SUBAGENTS can affect Global Console operation. To change these values, use a text editor to open x:\Sybase\ImpactServer=5_4\srconf\agt.<port>\snmpd.cnf on Windows and ~/Sybase/ImpactServer-5_4/snmp/srconf/agt.<port>/snmpd.cnf on UNIX, where “x” and “~” represent the file system, drive, or directory where the e-Biz Impact server is installed.

MAX_THREADS

The default MAX_THREADS setting is 10. This is the number of worker threads used by the master agent running on the port. Worker threads satisfy requests for information from the Global Console, other clusters involved in cluster-to-cluster communications, and CNC requests (ims54cnc). The more threads that are being used, the more the maximum threads number must increase. If you add another Global Console and experience unexpected behavior, increase the number of MAX_THREADS.

MAX_SUBAGENTS

The default MAX_SUBAGENTS setting is 25. This is the number of subagents that the SNMP daemon supports. Each cluster process, which consists of the manager and each controller, is a subagent of the SNMP daemon. You should allow for subagents for cluster-to-cluster communication and CNC requests. For example, if this value is set too low, you could see only a partial list of what you would expect to display in the Global Console.
