  • 1.  IBMi SNMP client to Windows SNMP manager.

    Posted Wed July 30, 2025 03:55 PM

    Hello, I'm configuring IBM i as a client using SNMP and I'm going to send information to another server that will collect it. I don't understand what and how to send the information, or the manager who collects it and how. How do I prepare the information for sending or collecting it?

    Basic information about SNMP can be found at IBM i SNMP Overview

    You'll see that IBM i only sends a few traps by itself but you could send traps yourself via the necessary API's (see https://www.ibm.com/docs/api/v1/content/ssw_ibm_i_74/apis/unix6.htm ).

    MMM, so there are two parts? The communication setup and the API development to send and control the data?

    It all depends what you want... basic setup allows your IBM i to be queried and sends some basic traps.

    In case you want more... you'll need to do some development.
